Answer»
Answer :-
The temperature at 12 noon = 10° C above zero The temperature is decreasing at 2° C per hour 8° C below zero = – 8° C So, total fall in temperature from 10° C to 0° C and from 0° C to – 8° C = 18° C Since the temperature falls 2° C in EVERY one hour. Therefore, to decrease 18° C, time taken = 18/2 = 9 hours Present time is 12 noon so, the time when the temperature is – 8° C= 12 noon + 9 hours So, The time at which the temperature will be – 8° C = 9 PM At 9 PM, the temperature is – 8° C, the temperature at 12 midnight will be = (- 8° C) + (- 2° C × 3 hours) = (- 8° C) + (- 6° C) = – 14° C So, at 12 midnight the temperature will be – 14° C. |
