Answer :

The correct reading of the temperature as shown in the pictured thermometer is 36°C.

A thermometer is basically a device which is used to measure the temperature. In a mercury thermometer, the thermometer is filled up with mercury. Mercury is a metal which is present in liquid state at room temperature. Mercury an expand and contract with the change in temperature.

When the temperature increases, the mercury in the thermometer expands and rises which we can see in the thermometer and take the reading of the temperature against the scale.
