Answer:

d) may be any of these , depending on the temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Let at temperature t , reading of both Celsius and Fahrenheit scale be same

using the formula of conversion

(F - 32) / 9 = C / 5

(t - 32) / 9 = t / 5

5t - 160 = 9t

t = - 40° Celsius .

For temperature above it , reading of Fahrenheit scale will be more . For temperature below it Fahrenheit scale will show lesser reading than Celsius

reading .
