The diagram above illustrates the mercury-in-glass thermometer used for determining the temperature of a room. Use the data on it to determine the room temperature. 

A

3.3°C

B

7.0°C

C

13°C

D

30.0°C

correct option: d

Let the room temperature be X.

Then,

\(\frac{3-0}{10-0} = \frac{X-0}{100-0}\)

\(\frac{3}{10} = \frac{X}{100}\)

\(X = \frac{3 \times 100}{10}\)

= 30°C
