Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 39°C

Given:

The average temperature on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday = 40°C 

Temperature of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 41°C 

Temperature of Thursday = 42°C

Formula used: 

Mean = Sum of no. observation/No. of observation 

Calculation:

Average temperature for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday = 40°C

Total temperature = 3 × 40 = 120°C

Average temperature for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 41°C

Total temperature = 41 × 3 = 123°C

Temperature on Thursday = 42°C

⇒ (Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday) - (Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday) = 123° - 120° 

Thursday - Monday = 3° 

Monday = 42° - 3° = 39°C

∴ The temperature on Monday is 39°C.
