Question

Question 1(d)
Following number line shows the temperature in degree Celsius (°C)at different places on a particular day.



Can we say temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature at Shimla? Is it also less than the temperature at Srinagar?

Answer 1

Temperature at Srinagar =$-2^{\circ }C$
Temperature at Shimla = $5^{\circ }C$
Temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together = $-2^{\circ }C+5^{\circ }C=3^{\circ }C$
$3^{\circ }C<5^{\circ }C$
$3^{\circ }C$ < Temperature of Shimla.
Yes, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature of Shimla. However, $3^{\circ }C>-2^{\circ }C$
Hence, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is not less than the temperature of Srinagar.
