Detailed Solution

Paheli and Boojho both will have normal body temperature.
As we know that the conversion formula for temperature in degree celsius and degree fahrenheit is as follows:

॰ F = ॰ C \times \frac{9}{5} + 32

Therefore,

37 ॰ C \times \frac{9}{5} + 32 = 98.6 ° F

These two temperatures are on different scales but their actual values are equal and represent the normal temperature of the human body. Thus, both Paheli and Boojho have a normal body temperature.
