The electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature according to the approximate law:
$R = R_{0} [1 + \alpha (T - T_{0})]$
The resistance is $101.6 \; \Omega$ at the triple-point of water $(273.16 \; K)$,and $165.5 \; \Omega$ at the normal melting point of lead $(600.5 \; K)$. What is the temperature (in $K$) when the resistance is $123.4 \; \Omega$?

  • A
    $126.54$
  • B
    $423.17$
  • C
    $384.61$
  • D
    $273.15$
