The mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday was 37°C and of and of Tuesday to Thursday was 34°C. If the temperature on Thursday was that of Monday, the temperature of Thursday was-
A.
34°C
B.
35.5°C
C.
36°C
Answer
D.
36.5°C

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
M + T + W = (37 × 3)°C = 111°C.....(i)
T + W + Th = (34 × 3)°C = 102°C.....(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get:
⇒ M - Th = 9°C
⇒ M - M = 9
M = 9
⇒ M = 45
∴ Temperature on Thursday
=  °C
= 36°C
