    The temperature at 12 noon was \[{{10}^{o}}C\] above zero. If it decreases at the rate of \[{{2}^{o}}C\] per hour until midnight, what would be the temperature at 9 p.m.?

    A)  \[-{{8}^{o}}C\]                   

    B)         \[-{{6}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[{{8}^{o}}C\]                  

    D)         \[{{6}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

       Given the temperature at 12 noon is \[{{10}^{o}}C\] The temperature decreases at the rate of \[{{2}^{o}}C\] per hour until mid night. From 12 noon to 9 p.m. it is 9 hours. \[\Rightarrow \]Temperature decrease \[=9\times (-{{2}^{o}}C)=-{{18}^{o}}C\] \[\therefore \]Temperature at 9 p.m \[={{10}^{o}}C+(-{{18}^{o}}C)=-{{8}^{o}}C\]
