Kargil's temperature was recorded in a week from Monday to Saturday. All readings were in A.P. The sum of temperatures of Monday and Saturday was 5° C more than sum of temperatures of Tuesday and Saturday. If temperature of Wednesday was -30° celsius then find the temperature on the other five days.

Answer: Monday −20°C, Tuesday −25°C, Thursday −35°C, Friday −40°C, Saturday −45°C (Wednesday −30°C)

Let Monday to Saturday be \(t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_6\) in A.P.

\(t_1 + t_6 = t_2 + t_6 + 5\), so \(t_1 - t_2 = 5\), i.e. \(-d = 5\) and \(d = -5\).

\(t_3 = a + 2d = -30\), so \(a = -30 + 10 = -20\).

Temperatures: −20, −25, −30, −35, −40, −45 (°C).
