    A new temperature scale in degrees N is to be defined. The boiling and freezing points of water on this scale are \[400{}^\circ N\] and \[100{}^\circ N\] respectively. What will be the reading on new scale corresponding to \[60{}^\circ C?\]

    A) \[110{}^\circ N\]                      

    B) \[180{}^\circ N\]

    C) \[210{}^\circ N\]                      

    D) \[280{}^\circ N\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[t={{a}_{x}}+b\] \[400=a{{x}_{s}}+b\] \[100=a{{x}_{i}}+b\] \[a=\frac{300}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}},\] \[b=100-\frac{300{{x}_{i}}}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}}\] \[t{}^\circ N=\left( \frac{300}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}} \right)\,x+100-\frac{300{{x}_{i}}}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}}\] \[=\left( \frac{300}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}} \right)\,\,(x-{{x}_{i}})+100\] Also \[t{}^\circ C=\left( \frac{x-{{x}_{i}}}{{{x}_{s}}-{{x}_{i}}} \right)\times 100\] \[t{}^\circ N=3\,t{}^\circ C+100=3\times 60+100=280{}^\circ N\]
