A constant volume gas thermometer show pressure reading of 50cm and 99 cm of mercury at `0^(@)C` and `100^(@)C` respectively. When the pressure reading is 60 cm of mercury, the temperature is
A. `25^(@)`
B. `40^(@)`
C. `15^(@)`
D. `12.5^(@)`
A. `25^(@)`
B. `40^(@)`
C. `15^(@)`
D. `12.5^(@)`
Correct Answer – A
`t=(P_(t)-P_(o))/(P_(100)-P_(o))xx100^(@)C=((60-50))/((90-50))=25^(@)C`
