Question

Suppose in a clinical thermometer, the difference between first and second bigger marks is $1^o$ and there are 5 small divisions between them then each small division refers to the difference in scale of:

• A. ${0.1}^{o}C$
• B. ${0.2}^{o}C$
• C. ${0.3}^{o}C$
• D. ${0.4}^{o}C$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

${0.2}^{o}C$

Suppose in a clinical thermometer, the difference between first and second bigger marks is 1o and there are 5 small divisions .

the bigger marks read one degree and there are five divisions between them. Then, one small division can read $\frac{1}{5}={0.2}^{o}C$
