The graph between two temperature scales P and Q is shown in the figure. Between upper fixed point and lower fixed point there are 150 equal divisions of scale P and 100 divisions on scale Q. The relationship for conversion between the two scales is given by :- 

- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use the fixed-point relation for linear temperature scales
For any two linear temperature scales, the relation is
where:
- are the lower fixed points on scales and
- are the upper fixed points on scales and
- Extract information from the figure/options
The problem states:
- Scale has equal divisions between lower and upper fixed points.
- Scale has equal divisions between lower and upper fixed points.
From the options, the lower fixed points indicated are:
- For scale :
- For scale :
Thus,
and the linear relation should be
Rearranging,
- Match with the options
This exactly matches Option D:
- Check the other options briefly
- A uses lower fixed points and , inconsistent.
- B is not even written as a proper equality.
- C gives a different shift and reversed placement.
- D correctly represents a linear mapping with divisions on and on .
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
