    At which temperature, the Fahrenheit and Centigrade scales are equal:

    A) \[-48{}^\circ \]

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

    C) \[37{}^\circ \]

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The relation between the Centigrade and Fahrenheit scale of temperature is \[\frac{C}{5}=\frac{5-32}{9}\] Suppose, x be the temperature at which Centrigrade and Fahrenheit scales are equal. Hence,  \[\frac{x}{5}=\frac{x-32}{9}\] \[9x=5x-160\] \[4x=-160\] \[x=-{{40}^{o}}\]
