Two absolute scales A and B have triple points of water defined to be 200 A and 350 B. What is the relation between `T_(A)" and "T_(B)`?

200 A on absolute scale A corresponds to 273.16 K on Kelvin scale. Size of one degree on absolute scale A in terms of the size of the degree on
Kelvin scale = `273.16/200`
The value of temperature `T_(A)` on Kelvin Scale = `(273.16/200)T_(A)`
Similarly, the value of temperature `T_(B)` on Kelvin scale = `(273.16/300)T_(B)`.
But, `T_(A)andT_(B)` represent the same temperature
`(273.16/200)T_(A)=(273.16/300)T_(B)rArrT_(A)=2/3T_(B)`
