On an imaginary linear scale of temperature (called ' W ' scale) the freezing and boiling points of water are 39^ W and 239^ W respectively. The temperature on the new scale corresponding to 39^ C temperature on Celsius scale will be
Options
- A139^ W
- B78^ W
- C117^ W
- D200^ W
Correct answer
C. 117^ W
Step-by-step solution
In Celsius scale the freezing and boiling point are 0^ C and 100^ C . In the given imaginary scale the freezing and boiling points are 39^ W and 239^ W . Hence, we can write C -0 100 = W -39 200 For C =39^ , 39 100 = W -39 200 Solving, W =117
