A pendulum clock (fitted with a small heavy bob that is connected with a metal rod) is 5 seconds fast each day at a temperature of l5°C and l0 seconds slow at a temperature of 30°C. The temperature at which it is designed to given correct time, is

a
18°C
b
20°C
c
240C
d
250C

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Fractional loss of time per second = 12α∆TTherefore 12α(T0-15)×(24 hrs) = 5  and 12α(30-T0)×(24 hrs) = 10on solving T0 = 200C
