According to Fahrenheit scale the boiling point of water is:

CONCEPT:

Celsius scale:

• In this scale, a lower fixed point (ice point) is taken 0° and the upper fixed point (steam point) is taken 100°.
• On the Celsius scale, there are 100 equal intervals between two reference points.

Fahrenheit scale:

• It is a temperature scale that is based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F.
• The region between these two temperatures is divided into 180 equal parts i.e. each part equals1°F.
• The absolute zero value is at -459.67° F.

The relation between the Fahrenheit temperature (tF) and the Celsius temperature (tC) is given as,

\(⇒ \frac{t_F-32}{180}=\frac{t_C}{100}\)

EXPLANATION:

• We know that the Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that is based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F. Hence, option 2 is correct.
