Q. The average temperature of a city in the first four days of a month was 36°. The average for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th day was 38°. If the temperature of the 1st and 5th day were in the ratio 4 : 5, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?- Published on 22 Apr 16a. 32°
b. 35°
c. 38°
d. 40°
e. None of these
ANSWER: 40°
The temperature for first 4 days = 4 * 36 = 144
The temperature for last 4 days = 4 * 38 = 152
The difference between the temperatures is (152 – 144) = 8
The ratio of temperature between first and fifth day is 4 : 5
The temperature on fifth day is 5*8 = 40
