Question

Which one of the following is correct about the temperature of cities in a year?

• A. Alleppey has an annual average temperature of 27°C
• B. Trivandrum has an annual average temperature of 29°C
• C. Alleppey is 2°C hotter than Trivandrum
• D. Alleppey is 2°C colder than Trivandrum

Answer 1

The correct option is A Alleppey has an annual average temperature of 27°C

Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of terms}}{\text{Number of terms}}$

Average temperature in Allepey = $\frac{27+29+24+28}{4}$ = $\frac{108}{4}$ = 27

$\therefore$ Average temperature in Allepey is 27°C.

Average temperature in Trivandrum = $\frac{28+30+27+28}{4}$ = $\frac{113}{4}$ = 28.25

$\therefore$ Average temperature in Trivandrum is 28.25°C.
