The correct answer is:
$39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
$\mathrm{T}_{2}=273-13=260$,
$$
\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}} ; \quad 5=\frac{260}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}-260}
$$
or $\mathrm{T}_{1}-260=52 ; \quad \mathrm{T}_{1}=312 \mathrm{~K}$
$\mathrm{T}_{2}=312-273=39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
$$
\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}} ; \quad 5=\frac{260}{\mathrm{~T}_{1}-260}
$$
or $\mathrm{T}_{1}-260=52 ; \quad \mathrm{T}_{1}=312 \mathrm{~K}$
$\mathrm{T}_{2}=312-273=39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
