Question

Amulya and Amar visited two places $A$ and $B$ respectively in Kashmir and recorded the minimum temperatures on a particular day as $-4^{\circ }C$ at $A$ and $-1^{\circ }C$ at $B$. Which of the following statement is True?

• A. $B$ is cooler than $A$
• B. $A$ is cooler than $B$
• C. There is a difference of $2^{\circ }$C in the temperature
• D. The temperature at $A$ is $4^{\circ }C$ higher than that at $B$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Since, -4 lies on the left side of (-1) on the number line.
$-4^o$C < $-1^o$C
$\therefore$ A is cooler than B.
