-10
C
4
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A parcel of air has a dry-bulb temperature of 16ºC and a wet-bulb temperature of 10ºC.

Detailed explanation-2: -Now, the difference between the dry bulb and wet bulb temperature is (12-7=5) 5∘C 5 ∘ C . Now, looking 12∘C 12 ∘ C from row side and 5∘C 5 ∘ C from column side, where these two temperatures meet, that point is dew point temperature. Therefore, Dew point comes out to be 1∘C 1 ∘ C from the table.

Detailed explanation-3: -Find the dry-bulb temperature on the left side of the “Dew-point Temperatures” ESRT, then find the difference between the wet and dry-bulbs, also known as the wet-bulb depression, on the top of the chart. Where these rows meet, you will see the dew-point.

Detailed explanation-4: -Relative humidity can be found by subtracting the temperature on the wet-bulb thermometer from the temperature on the dry-bulb thermometer and using a relative humidity chart.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, the dew point temperature is 7 ° °C when both dry and wet bulb temperature are 16 ° °C and 11 ° °C, respectively.
