Assertion : The temperature at which Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometers read the same is `-40^(@)`.
Reason : There is no relation between Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperature.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If the assertion and reason both are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The relation between F and C scale is, ` (C)/(5) = (F-32)/(9)`
If `F = C rArr C = - 40^@ C, ` i.e , at `- 40 ^(@)` the Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometers reads the same.
