- (c)
Let number of Dates eaten on the first day x,
x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10+x+12=70
7x+42=70
x=28/7=4
First day=4
Fourth day=x+6=10
Last day=x+12=16
Average number of dates=30/3=10 dates
- (d)
Sum of cake pieces girls have=30×4=120
Number of boys=30×4+x×5=410
x=58
Average number of boys and girls in the class= (30+58)/2=44
- (d)
Average salary of Assembly members=237500/25=9500
Foreman salary=9500×110/100=Rs.10450
- (a)
The average salary dropped by Rs.50 for 26 of them, therefore the overall salary has dropped by,
=26×50=Rs.1300
The new TL’s salary should be Rs.1300 less than the old TL’s Salary=11000-1300=Rs.9700
- (c)
Number of chocolate = x
According to Renuka,
90>x>100
According to Ravi,
85>x>95
According to Ramya,
x≤93
The value Satisfy all the above conditions are 91, 92 and 93.
The average is 92 chocolates in a pocket.
Required average=(91+92+93)/3=276/3=92 chocolates
- (c)
Ratio=2 : 5: 1 : 4
Let their salary=2x+5x+x+4x=12000×4
x=48000/12=4000
B’s salary=5×4000=20000
D’s salary=4×4000=16000
Average salary of B and D=verage salary of B and D=36000/2=Rs.18000
- (b)
According to the Question,
x^3+y^3=728—–(1)
x^3-y^3=296—–(2)
Solve the above two equations, we get
x=8 and y= 6
Average of two numbers= (8+6)/2=7
- (d)
Total weight of W, X &Y=46×3=138——(1)
Total weight of X, Y and Z=52×3=156—–(2)
Total weight of W, Y and Z=56×3=168——(3)
Total weight of W, X and Z=48×3=144——(4)
From 1, 2, 3 and 4,
W+X+Y+Z=202——— (5)
From 1& 5, Z=64 kg
From 2& 5, W=46 kg
From 3& 5, X=34 kg
From 4& 5, Y=58 kg
Average weight of W, Y and Z=168/3=56 kg
- (b)
Total weight of 19 boxes=19×11.5=218.5 kg
New average=11.5+0.4=11.9 kg
Total weight of 20 boxes=20×11.9=238 kg
The weight of new box=238-218.5=19.5 kg
- a)
The total age of husband & wife now = (27×2)+(6×2)= 66 yrs
Total age of husband, wife & child now = 24 × 3 = 72 yrs
Age of child = 72 – 66 = 6 yrs
- d)
Let the number of students initially in the class be N
(1)àThen, total Height = N × 180 ——————-(1)
Again the no of students increased = N + 5
(2)àThen, total height N + 5 students = (N+5)× 168 ———-(2)
(3)àThe total height of 5 new students = 5 × 146.4 = 732cm. –(3)
From 1,2 & 3,
(N + 5)×168 – 732 = N × 180
168N +840 – 732 = 180N => N = 9
Therefore , number of students in class = 9 + 5 = 14
- d)
No of even numbers below 401 = 200
No of even numbers below 251 = 125
No of even numbers between 251 & 401 = 75
Sum of first N even numbers = N(N+1)
Sum of even number between 251 & 401=[200(200+1) ]–[125(125+1) ]=24450
Average of even numbers between 251 & 401 = 24450/75 = 326
- b)
Arun’s present age = 37 yrs
Total age of family after 8 yrs from marriage = 30 × 3 = 90
Present age Arun & his wife = 37+33 = 70 yrs
Present age of arun, his wife & his son = 90 – 8×3 = 66
Present age of son = 70-66 = 4yrs.
- b)
Total score of cricketer for 11 matches = 11×44 = 484 runs
Total score of cricketer for first 6 matches = 6 × 42 = 252 runs
the average for the last 5 matches = (484-252)/5=46.
- C)
Let the number students be 100,
Then,
100×142 = 23×126 + 51×150 + 26×X
26X = 14200 – 2898 – 7650 => X = 140.4 = 140(Approx)
- a)
Total runs scored in first 15 overs = 120
Remaining runs to be scored = 557.5 – 120 = 437.5 runs
Run rate in 35 overs = 437.5/35 = 12.5 runs
- d)
Total weight of (A + B + C)= (75 × 3)= 225 kg.
Total weight of (B + D + E)= (102 × 3)kg = 306 kg
Adding both, we get: A + 2B + C + D + E = 225 + 306 kg = 531 kg
So, to find the average weight of A, B, C, D and E, we ought to know B’s weight, which is not given.
So, the data is inadequate.
- d)
Total age of A & (1)àB = 24 × 2 = 48 yrs —(1)
Total age of B & (2)àC = 20 × 2 = 40 yrs —(2)
Total age of A & (3)àC = 22 × 2 = 44 yrs —-(3)
From 1,2 & 3,
(4)àA + B+ C = 66 —————————(4)
From 1& 4, C= 18
From 2& 4, A= 26
From 3& 4, B= 22
- (C)
Let the average weight of 12 persons be X kg and the weights of the persons, entered the group for the
first time and second time be (P)and (P-34)kg respectively,
From the question,
(12X-250+P)/12 =X-6 => P=178
Another person (P-34)= 178 – 34 = 144
(12X-144)/12 =X-r => r=12
Therefore the overall change = 6 + 12 =18kg
