An experiment is carried out on a fixed amount of gas at different temperatures and at high pressure such that it deviates from ideal gas behavior. The variation of $\frac{PV}{RT}$ with $P$ is shown in the diagram. The correct variation will correspond to

Two ideal gas thermometers $A$ and $B$ use oxygen and hydrogen respectively. The following observations are made:
Temperature Pressure thermometer $A$ Pressure thermometer $B$
Triple-point of water $1.250 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$ $0.200 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$
Normal melting point of sulphur $1.797 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$ $0.287 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$

$(a)$ What is the absolute temperature of the normal melting point of sulphur as read by thermometers $A$ and $B$?
$(b)$ What do you think is the reason behind the slight difference in answers of thermometers $A$ and $B$? (The thermometers are not faulty). What further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the discrepancy between the two readings?
