Question

When a thermometer is taken from the melting ice to a warm liquid, the mercury level rises to $\frac{2^{th}}{5}$ of the distance between the lower and the upper fixed points. The temperature of liquid in $K$ is

• A. $217.15$
• B. $313.15$
• C. $220$
• D. $330$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$313.15$

Answer 2

Here, temperature of liquid $=\frac{2}{5}$ of distance between lower and upper fixed points $=\frac{2}{5}\times100=40^{\circ}C$ On Kelvin scale, $T_{K}=273.15+40=313.15\,K$
