On a temperature scale 'X' the boiling point of water is 65°X and the freezing point is -15°X. Assuming that the X scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to -95 °X on the Fahrenheit scale would be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The relation between two temperature scales can be written as follows
…
Substitute the values of the known parameters in to equation and sole to calculate the required temperature in Fahrenheit scale.
2 x 180 = 212- F
F = 212 - 360
= -148°F
