Temperature, \mathrm{t}=300 \mathrm{~K}=27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

\mathrm{ R_{27}=1=R_0(1+0.00125 \times 27) }

\mathrm{ R_t=2=R_0(1+0.00125 \times t) }

\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{2}{1}=\frac{1+0.00125 \times t}{1+0.00125 \times 27} \end{aligned}

On solving, \mathrm{t}=854^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=854+273=1127 \mathrm{~K}

Hence option 2 is correct
