a
98∘c
b
110∘c
c
40∘c
d
60∘c

detailed solution

Correct option is A

unknown thermometer , Lower Fixed point(LFP) = 200C; Upper Fixed Point (UFP)=1500C; actual reading given = 600C  the formula that relates unknown thermometer and celsius thermometer is, Z-LFPUFP-LFP=C-LFPUFP-LFP celsius thermometer has LFP=00C and UFP=1000C  substitute given values in above equation, x is reading on unknown thermometer  x-20150-20=60-0100-0  x-20=78  x=98∘c
