In troposphere (the weather domain), the temperature 't' at height 'h' above the sea level in metres is given by (where, temperature at sea level is 15°C and t is in °C.)
t = 15 - 0.0065 h
t = 15 + 0.0065 h
t = 0.0035 h - 15
t = 15 - 0.0035 h

It was not in k/m, it was c/km.

So, it was converted to metre. That's why we get it as 0.0065 celsius/metre.

@Abhishek Kumar

You say temperature lapse rate in troposphere is 0.0065.

K/m, here its unit in K( kelvin ) and in question unit is in C (Celcius).

In the troposphere, the variation of temperature with altitude is given by the equation
T = T0 " λ h.

Where T0 is the sea level temperature, T is the temperature at the altitude h and λ is the temperature lapse rate in the troposphere.

λ = 0.0065 K/m in the troposphere.

In troposphere according to lapse rate as increase in altitude of 1km 6.5 c temp decreases.

I think it's based on lapse rate, 6.5 degree c per 1 km.
