Question

On a hilly region, water boils at $95{}^{\circ }C$ . The temperature expressed in Fahrenheit scale is

• A. $100^{\circ }F$
• B. $200^{\circ }F$
• C. $150^{\circ }F$
• D. $203^{\circ }F$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If the temperature of a body on Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are recorded as C and F respectively, then
$\frac{C-0}{100-0}=\frac{F-32}{212-32}$
or $\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}$
Here, $C=95^{\circ }C$
$\therefore$ $\frac{95}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}$
Or $5F=1015$
$\therefore$ $F=\frac{1015}{5}=203^{\circ }F$
