Question

When a thermometer is taken from the melting ice to a warm liquid, the mercury level rises to (25)th of the distance between the lower and the upper fixed points. The temperature of liquid in K is
  1. 217.15
  2. 313.15
  3. 220
  4. 330

A
220
B
217.15
C
330
D
313.15
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given:
TbTf=100
Temperature of liquid, T=25 distance between lower and upper fixed point
Temperature of liquid, T=25×100=400C
On kelvin scale, Tk=273.15+40
Tk=313.15K
The correct option is B.
