A resistance thermometer has a resistance of 20\(\Omega\) at 0^oC and 85\(\Omega\) at 100^oC. If its resistance is 52\(\Omega\)in a medium, calculate the corresponding temperature

49.2^oC

60.6^oC

80.0^oC

84.7^oC

Correct answer is A

85\(\Omega\) ........100^oC

52\(\Omega\) ........\(\theta\)^oC

20\(\Omega\) ........0^oC

\(\frac{52 - 20}{85 - 20} = \frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\)

\(\theta = \frac{32 \times 100}{65} = 49.2^oC\)
