Solution

Number of division in faulty thermometer is,110-(-10)=120
$∴$ 120 division in faulty thermometer
= 100 division in Celsius thermometer
$∴$ 1 division in faulty thermometer= $\frac{100}{120}$ division in celsius thermometer= $\frac{5}{6}$ division in celsiud thermometer.
$∴$ IF- $\frac{5}{6} ° C$
$∴$ $62 ° F = (\frac{5}{6} \times 62) ° C = 51.67 ° C$
