B) In which week was the temperature higher on most of the days?

C) On which day was the temperature same in both the weeks?

D) On which day was the difference in temperatures the maximum for both the weeks?

E) What were the temperatures for both the weeks on Thursday?

A) The x-axis gives the days of the week on which the temperatures were recorded; whereas the y-axis gives the maximum temperature that was recorded on a particular day.

B) The temperature was higher on most of the days in the first week. If we compare the graphs of the two weeks, we see that the temperature in the first week is more than the temperature in the second week for everyday except Monday and Wednesday.

D) The difference in the temperatures was maximum, i.e. 7°C, for both the weeks on Friday.

Difference on Sunday = 35 – 32 = 3°C.

Difference on Monday = 35 – 31 = 4°C.

Difference on Tuesday = 38 – 33 = 5°C.

Difference on Wednesday = 36 – 36 = 0°C.

Difference on Thursday = 37 – 34 = 3°C.

Difference on Friday = 39 – 32 = 7°C.

Difference on Saturday = 37 – 33 = 4°C.

E) The temperature on Thursday for the first week was 37°C and that for the second week was 34°C.

F) The temperature was highest, i.e. 36°C, for the second week on Wednesday.
