Question

There are 2 bodies, A and B having temperatures ${52}^{\circ }C$ and ${60}^{\circ }F$ respectively. Which body is more hot?

• A. Body A
• B. Body B
• C. Both A and B are equally hot
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A Body A

Given, temperature of body A $={52}^{\circ }C$
and, temperature of body B $={60}^{\circ }F$.
Consider body B:
Let $C$ be its temperature on Celsius scale and $F$ be its temperture on Fahrenheit scale.
We know, $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$
$\Rightarrow C=\frac{5}{9}(60-32)=\frac{5}{9}\times 28$
$\Rightarrow C={15.55}^{\circ }C$
Temperature of body A is ${52}^{\circ }C$ and temperature of body B is ${15.55}^{\circ }C$.
Hence, body A is more hot than body B.
