Question

Arrange the following objects in increasing order of their thermometer readings.

1. Steamed momos
2. Chilled water
3. Tap water

• A. 1 < 2 < 3
• B. 3 < 1 < 2
• C. 2 < 3 < 1
• D. 2 < 1 < 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2 < 3 < 1

Thermometer is a device used to measure temperature of objects.
Higher the temperature of object, higher will be the thermometer reading.
Steamed momos will have highest temperature.
Chilled water will have lowest temperature.
Tap water is generally at room temperature. So, its temperature will be in between the temperature of other two objects.
So, 2 < 3 < 1 is the correct order.
