    In the summer of 2013, in Lucknow, the mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday was \[41{}^\circ C\]and of Tuesday to Thursday was\[43{}^\circ C\]. If the temperature on Thursday was 15% higher than that of Monday, then the temperature on Thursday was -

    A)  \[46{}^\circ C\]                       

    B)  \[43{}^\circ C\]

    C)  \[40{}^\circ C\]                       

    D)  \[49{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday \[=\text{ }41{}^\circ C\] \[\therefore \]  Total temperature of Monday to Wednesday\[=\text{ 123}{}^\circ C\]    Mean temperature of Tuesday to Thursday \[=\text{ 43}{}^\circ C\] \[\therefore \] Total temperature of Tuesday to Thursday \[=\text{ 129}{}^\circ C\] So, Temperature of Thursday -Temperature of Monday \[=\text{ }129{}^\circ -123{}^\circ =6{}^\circ \] Let the temperature of Monday be \[x{}^\circ \] \[15\times \frac{x}{100}=6\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,x=\frac{6\times 100}{15}=40{}^\circ \] So, Temperature of Thursday \[=\,\,\,\,\,\,40+6=\underline{\mathbf{46{}^\circ }}\]
