Question
In a given thermometer, there are 100 major divisions between the freezing point and boiling point of water. Each major division is equal to 5 minor divisions. What is the minimum temperature above the freezing point of water that can be captured by the thermometer?

Solution
The correct option is B 10C
Freezing point of water = 0. Boiling point of water = 100 degrees. There are 100 divisions. Hence, each major division is 1 degrees. The distance between two major divisions is indicative of a temperature difference of 1 degrees celsius. Now, between two major divisions, there are 5 minor divisions. Hence, the value indicated by one minor division is 1/5 or 0.2 degrees
One major division is divided into 5 minor divisions.i.e each minor division corresponds to
15=0.2∘C
