On a new scale of temperature, which is linear and called the \(\mathrm{W}\) scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are \(39^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)and \(239^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\) respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale corresponding to a temperature of \(39^\circ ~\mathrm{C}\) on the Celsius scale?
1. \(78^\circ ~\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(117^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
3. \(200^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
4. \(139^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)

Two absolute scales \(A \) and \(B,\) have triple points of water defined to be \(200 A\) and \(350 B\). The relationship between \(T_A \) and \(T_B\):
1. \(T_A = {5 \over 7}T_B\)
2. \(T_A = { 4 \over 7}T_B\)
3. \(T_A = { 6 \over 7}T_B\)
4. \(T_A = T_B\)
