    If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in kelvin units as \[{{x}^{o}}\,K\]or in Fahrenheit units as \[y{}^\circ F.\]The relation between the two systems of measurement of temperature is given by the linear equation. \[y=\frac{9}{5}(x-273)+32\]
    (i) Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the liquid is 313° K.
    (ii)  If the temperature is 158° F, then find the temperature in Kelvin.

    A)
    (i) (ii)
    112° F 150°K
                   

    B)
    (i) (ii)
    112° F 243° K
                   

    C)
    (i) (ii)
    104° F 343° K
                   

    D)
    (i) (ii)
    104°F 150°K

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

              (i) Putting \[x=313{{\,}^{o}}K,\]in given equation, we get \[y=\frac{9}{5}(313-273)+32=\frac{9}{5}(40)+32\] \[=72+32={{104}^{o}}\,F\] (ii) Putting, \[y={{158}^{o}}\,F\]in given equation, we get, \[158=\frac{9}{5}(x-273)+32\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[158-32=\frac{9}{5}(x-273)\Rightarrow 126=\frac{9}{5}(x-273)\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[126\times \frac{5}{9}=x-273\Rightarrow x={{343}^{o}}K.\]
