Assertion : Fahrenheit is the smallest unit measuring temperature… - Vidyadip

MCQ

$Assertion :$ Fahrenheit is the smallest unit measuring temperature.
$Reason :$ Fahrenheit was the first temperature scale used for measuring temperature.

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
✓
If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

d
Here, Assertion is incorrect and Reason is correct. The temperature difference between boiling point of water and freezing point of water has been divided into $100$ parts in $^oC$ scale, $180$ parts in Fahrenheit scale, $80$ parts in Reaumer scale and $212$ parts in Rankine scale. So, Rankine scale is the smallest unit. Assertion is incorrect. Fahrenheit was the first temperature scale used for measuring temperature. So, the Reason is correct.
