the true ice and steam points are 0 C and 100 C which are divided into 100 equal parts
the difference between 1.8 C and 105 C is 103.2 C
there will be 100 equal divisions of 1.032 C obtained by dividing 103.2 by 100
50 divisions will be equal to = 50 × 1.032 =51.6 add it in 1.8 C
the answer is = 51.6+1.8 = 53.4
