    A constant volume gas thermometer shows pressure reading of 50cm and 90cm of mercury at 0°C and 100°C respectively. When the pressure reading is 60 cm of mercury, the temperature is             [MNR 1991; UPSEAT 2000; Pb. CET 2004]

    A)            25°C                                         

    B)            40°C

    C)            15°C                                         

    D)            12.5°C

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[t=\frac{({{P}_{t}}-{{P}_{0}})}{({{P}_{100}}-{{P}_{0}})}\times 100{}^\circ C=\frac{(60-50)}{(90-50)}\times 100=25{}^\circ C\]
