Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
8\(\Omega\).....100oC
6\(\Omega\).....\(\theta\)oC
3\(\Omega\).....0oC
\(\frac{6 - 3}{8 - 3}\) = \(\frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\)
therefore, \(\theta\) = 60oC
8\(\Omega\).....100oC
6\(\Omega\).....\(\theta\)oC
3\(\Omega\).....0oC
\(\frac{6 - 3}{8 - 3}\) = \(\frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\)
therefore, \(\theta\) = 60oC
