    The resistance of a resistance thermometer has values 2.71 and 3.70 ohm at 10°C and 100°C. The temperature at which the resistance is 3.26 ohm is              [CPMT 1994]

    A)            40°C                                         

    B)            50°C

    C)            60°C                                         

    D)            70°C

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Change in resistance \[3.70-2.71=0.99\,\Omega \] corresponds to interval of temperature 90°C. So change in resistance \[3.26-2.71=0.55\,\Omega \] Corresponds to change in temperature \[=\frac{90}{0.99}\times 0.55=50{}^\circ C\]
