Question 5 (a)
Following is the list of temperatures of five places in India, on a particular day of the year.
Place Temperaturee
Siachin 10∘C below 0∘C
Shimla 2∘C below 0∘
Ahmedabad 30∘C above 0∘
Delhi 20∘C above 0∘
Srinagar 5∘C below 0∘
As per the question, we have to represent the temperature of the given places in the form of integers.
We take 0∘ as the reference. Any temperature above that will be positive and any temperature below that will be negative.
The table given below shows the temperature of different places in the form of integers according to the conventions.
Place Temperature
Siachin 10∘C below 0∘C = −10∘C
Shimla 2∘C below 0∘ = −2∘C
Ahmedabad 30∘C above 0∘ = 30∘C
Delhi 20∘C above 0∘ = 20∘C
Srinagar 5∘C below 0∘ = −5∘C
