Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 29° C

Given:

The average temperature for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was 30° C.

 The average temperature for Thursday, Friday and Saturday was 32° C.

The temperature on Saturday was 35° C

Concept Used:

 Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Calculation:

According to the question, we have

The temperature on (Wednesday + Thursday + Friday) = 30 × 3

⇒ 90° C

The temperature on (Thursday + Friday + Saturday) = 32 × 3

⇒ 96° C

Now,

The temperature on (Thursday + Friday) = 96° C -  The temperature on Saturday

⇒ 96° C - 35° C

⇒ 61° C

Now,

The temperature on Wednesday = 90° C - The temperature on (Thursday + Friday)

⇒ 90° C - 61° C

⇒ 29° C

∴ The temperature on Wednesday is 29° C.
