A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked at 6° and 96°. What is the correct temperature on the Centigrade scale when this thermometer reads 87°

Question

A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked at 6° and 96°. What is the correct temperature on the Centigrade scale when this thermometer reads 87° (A) 83° C (B) 93° C (C) 90° C (D) 85° C

If a thermometer is wrong calibrated then,
If

X

the temperature reading on the faulty thermometer scale then,

< b r / > t = \frac{( X - L FP}{( U FP - L FP )} \times 100 . Where, t = actual reading. < b r / >

So, for a faulty reading of

8 7^{\circ} C

the actual reading can be found by using above formula is

= 9 0^{\circ} C

Q. A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked at $6^{\circ}$ and $9 6^{\circ}$ . What is the correct temperature on the Centigrade scale when this thermometer reads $8 7^{\circ}$

$8 3^{\circ} C$

$9 3^{\circ} C$

$9 0^{\circ} C$

$8 5^{\circ} C$

Q. A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked at 6∘ and 96∘. What is the correct temperature on the Centigrade scale when this thermometer reads 87∘

83∘C

93∘C

90∘C

85∘C

If a thermometer is wrong calibrated then, If X the temperature reading on the faulty thermometer scale then, <br/>t=(UFP−LFP)(X−LFP​×100. Where, t= actual reading. <br/> So, for a faulty reading of 87∘C the actual reading can be found by using above formula is =90∘C
