Statement 2: A laboratory thermometer has a kink near its bulb.

• A. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.
• B. Both statements are false.
• C. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
• D. Both statements are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both statements are false.

The range of a laboratory thermometer is -10°C to 110°C. Hence, it can measure temperature readings even below 0°C till -10°C.

Moreover, clinical thermometers have a kink near the bulb.

Thus, both the statements are false.
