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}

.

Accepted Answer

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
