        At which temperature the Fahrenheit and Celsius scale give equal readings?

    A)  \[40{}^\circ \]                 

    B)  \[37{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[-40{}^\circ \]                 

    D)  \[80{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Celsius temperature  and Fahrenheit temperature (F) are related as \[\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}\] Putting      \[C=F=\theta ,\]we get \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{\theta }{5}=\frac{\theta -32}{9}\]                 \[9\theta =5\theta -160\]                 \[4\theta =-160\]                 \[-40{}^\circ C=-40{}^\circ F\]
