Correct Answer: 40°C


Solution : The average temperature for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday = 41°C
The sum of temperatures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday = 41 × 3 = 123°C
The average temperature for Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday = 42°C
The sum of temperatures of Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday = 42 × 3 = 126°C
The temperature on Thursday = 43°C
The sum of temperatures on Wednesday and Friday = 126 – 43 = 83°C
Temperature on Monday = 123 – 83 = 40°C
Hence, the correct answer is 40°C.
