On a certain scale of temperature ‘X’, the ice point is 40o
and the steam point is 160o
.
On another scale of temperature ‘Y’, the ice point is -20o
and the steam point is 100o
.
If ‘X’ reads 50o
, what would ‘Y’ read?

Answer:
-10 degrees
Explanation:
Range of x: R
x
=160−40=120
Range of y: R
y
=100−(−20)=120
The given temp is 50
∘
in scale x and let it be t in scale y.
∴
R
x
50−40
=
R
y
t−(−20)
∴
120
10
=
120
t+20
⇒t=−10
