Temperature of cities as on 20.06.2006

City Maximum Minimum

Chennai 36° c 27° c
Delhi 38° c 28° c
Jaipur 39° c 29° c
Jammu 41° c 26° c
Mumbai 32° c 27° c
Difference between the maximum and minimum temperature on 20.06.2006
Ahmedabad = (38°c – 29°c) = 9°c
Amritsar = (37°c – 26°c) = 9°c
Bangalore = (28°c – 21°c) = 7°c
Chennai = (36°c – 27°c) = 9°c
Delhi = (38°c – 28°c) = 10°c
Jaipur = (39°c – 29°c) = 10°c
Jammu = (41°c – 26°c) = 15°c
Mumbai = (32°c – 27°c) = 5°c
(i) As, it is clear from the above calculation, Jammu has the largest difference in the
minimum and maximum temperature on the given data i.e. 15°c.
(ii) Jammu is the hottest city with 41°c and Bangalore is the coldest city with 21° c.
(iii) Bangalore and Jaipur or Bangalore and Ahmedabad are the two cities where
maximum temperature of one was less than the minimum temperature of other.
(iv) Mumbai has the least difference between its minimum and maximum temperature.
Maximum temperature = 32°c
Minimum temperature = 27°c
∴ Difference = (32°c – 27°c) = 5°c
