The temperature in a chemical plant was -5^oC at 2.00 am. The temperature fell by 6^oC and then rose again by 7^oC. What was the final temperature?

Answer Details

The temperature in the chemical plant was -5^oC at 2.00 am. The temperature fell by 6^oC, so the temperature became (-5 - 6) = -11^oC. The temperature then rose by 7^oC, which means the temperature increased from -11^oC to (-11 + 7) = -4^oC. Therefore, the final temperature was -4^oC. Hence, the correct option is (-4^oC).
