In Manali, the temperature was – 5°C on Monday and then it dropped by 2°C on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it rose by 4°C. What was the temperature on wednesday?

• A. $7^{\circ }C$
• B. $3^{\circ }C$
• C. $-7^{\circ }C$
• D. $-3^{\circ }C$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $-3^{\circ }C$

From the question,
Temperature on Monday $=-5^{\circ }C$
Temperature on Tuesday dropped by $2^{\circ }C$ = Temperature on Monday – $2^{\circ }C$
= $-5^{\circ }C–2^{\circ }C=-7^{\circ }C$
Temperature on Wednesday rose by $4^{\circ }C$ = Temperature on Tuesday + $4^{\circ }C$
= $-7^{\circ }C+4^{\circ }C$
= $-3^{\circ }C$
Thus, the temperature on Wednesday $-3^{\circ }C$.
