Question

Statement I: Clinical thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of boiling water.
Statement II: The temperature range of a clinical thermometer is from 94℉ to 108℉.

• A.
  Statement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.
  
  
• B.
  Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.
  
• C.
  Both the statements are correct.
  
• D. Both the statements are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.

The temperature range of a clinical thermometer is from $35°C$ to $45°C$ on the Celsius scale and from 94℉ to 108℉ on the Fahrenheit scale. But the temperature of boiling water is about $100°C$.

Since $100°C$ temperature does not lie in the temperature range of the clinical thermometer so, it cannot be used to measure the temperature of boiling water.
So, statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.
