Solution
Initial temperature of Srinagar at 6 p.m. = 1°C
Final temperature of Srinagar at midnight = −4°C
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
= (−4 − 1)°C
= −5°C
So, the temperature has changed by −5°C.
The negative sign indicates that the temperature has fallen.
So, the temperature has fallen by 5°C.
