JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 30th January Evening Shift - No. 19)
A faulty thermometer reads $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in melting ice and $95^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in stream. The correct temperature on absolute scale will be __________ $\mathrm{K}$ when the faulty thermometer reads $41^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
Answer
313
Explanation
Let the correct temperature be X$$^\circ$$C
$$ \Rightarrow {{X - 0} \over {100 - 0}} = {{41 - 5} \over {95 - 5}} \Rightarrow X = 40$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Temperature is 273 + 40 K = 313 K
