RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate Level CBT 1 Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Minus ten to one hundred and ten degrees Celsius

The question asks for the typical temperature range covered by a laboratory thermometer used in school experiments. Let's analyze each of the given options and determine the correct one based on typical usage and specifications.

  1. The option "Zero to two hundred degrees Celsius" is not common for laboratory thermometers in school settings. This range is more suitable for industrial or specialized laboratory thermometers.
  2. The option "Minus ten to one hundred and ten degrees Celsius" is a typical range for laboratory thermometers used in schools. It can measure temperatures below zero, such as when conducting experiments with ice or cold solutions, and extends above 100°C for experiments involving boiling water or other substances.
  3. The option "Minus fifty to fifty degrees Celsius" is not a typical range for school laboratory thermometers because it does not reach high enough temperatures for experiments involving boiling water.
  4. The option "Thirty five to forty two degrees Celsius" is usually the range for clinical thermometers used to measure human body temperature, not laboratory thermometers.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option: "Minus ten to one hundred and ten degrees Celsius". This range is suitable for a variety of common school experiments, covering temperatures below freezing point and slightly above the boiling point of water.
