Time difference between 12 PM and 8 PM= 8 hours
So, drop in temperature= 8*2=16
Thus, temperature at 8 PM=64-16=48

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).
