On a thermometer, the freezing points of water is marked as `20^(@)C` and the boiling points of water is marked as `150^(@)C` . A temperature of `60^(@)C` will be read on this thermometer as

A

`78^(@)`

B

`66^(@)`

C

`62^(@)`

D

`58^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(T_C-0)/(100-0) = (T-10)/(130- 10) rArr (40)/(100) = (T-10)/(120)`
`rArr T = 58^@`
