Question
What is the key difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales at the boiling point of water?
Explanation
At the boiling point of water under standard pressure, the Celsius scale reads 100∘C, while the Fahrenheit scale reads 212∘F, reflecting different interval sizes and zero points. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Celsius is 100∘, Fahrenheit is 212∘. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
