Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If two objects labelled B and C are both at thermal equilibrium with object A, which of the following must be true?
A
Objects B and C are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
B
Object B has a higher temperature than object C.
C
Object C has a higher temperature than object B.
D
Objects B and C are not in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two objects can only be at thermal equilibrium when the temperatures of both the objects are same. If A and B are in thermal equilibrium with C then A and C also have the same temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -If two systems are in thermal equilibrium, then they should have same temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -In other words, if two objects are in thermal equilibrium, they have the same temperature. Figure 1.2 If thermometer A is in thermal equilibrium with object B, and B is in thermal equilibrium with C, then A is in thermal equilibrium with C.
