Options:

A) 1154 K

B) 1100 K

C) 1400 K

D) 1127 K

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \frac{{\rho _{1}}}{{\rho _{2}}}=\frac{(1+\alpha t _{1})}{(1+\alpha t _{2})}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{(1+0.00125\times 27)}{(1+0.00125\times t)} $
$ \Rightarrow t=854{}^\circ C\Rightarrow T=1127K $
