Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Highest difference of arg maximum temperature & arg minimum temperature.

New Delhi = $39^{\circ}-27^{\circ}=12^{\circ}C$

Mumbai = $36^{\circ}-19^{\circ}=17^{\circ}C$

Ahmadabad = $37^{\circ}-19^{\circ}=18^{\circ}C$

Chennai = $42^{\circ}-26^{\circ}=16^{\circ}C$

Kolkata = $38^{\circ}-24^{\circ}=14^{\circ}C$

$\therefore $ Highest difference = $18^{\circ}C$ in city Ahmadabad.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the $6$ numbers are $x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4, x+5$.

Since,
$average=48$
$\dfrac{x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5}{6}=48$
$6x+15=288$
$6x=273$
$x=45.5$
So,
The smallest number $=45.5$
The largest number $=x+5=45.5+5=50.5$
Difference $=50.5-45.5=5$

B Correct answer
Explanation
The additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. 
This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.

$Additive \ Inverse \ of (\sqrt {3}-2 )\ is$
$\rightarrow -(\sqrt{3}-2)$
$\rightarrow -\sqrt{3}+2$
$\rightarrow B \ is \ correct \ answer$

State whether the following statement is True or False.
The predecessor of a two digit number is never a single digit number.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

False, since we can clearly analyse that predecessor of $10$ is 

$10-1=9$
And $9$ is a single digit number.
Hence predecessor of two digit number is single digit number.
