Correct Answer: 4991
Explanation:
Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 34009]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991.
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
Average of 20 numbers = 0.
Sum of 20 numbers = (0 * 20) = 0.
It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a, then 20th number is (- a).
Correct Answer: 76
Explanation:
Average = total runs / no.of innings = 32
So, total = Average x no.of innings = 32 x 10 = 320.
Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 32+4 = 36runs
Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 36 x 11 = 396
Runs made in the 11th inning = 396 - 320 = 76
Correct Answer: 39
Explanation:
Let the average after 17th innings = x
Then average after 16th innings = (x - 3)
Therefore 16 × (x - 3) + 87 = 17x
Therefore x = 39
Correct Answer: 7
Correct Answer: 45 kg
Explanation:
Weight of the teacher = (35.4 x 25 - 35 x 24) kg = 45 kg.
Correct Answer: 146694.12
Explanation:
S=R[(1+i)^n-1]/i
Correct Answer: 36 degree celsius
Explanation:
Let, temperature of Monday = a Temperature of Tuesday = b Temperature of Wednesday = c Temperature of Thursday = 4a/5 Sum of temperatures of Monday to Wednesday = 3×37 = 111 => a+b+c=111------(1) Sum of temperatures of Tuesday to Thursday = 3×34 = 102 b+c+(4a/5) = 102 ------(2) (1)-(2)=> a−(4a/5)=111−102 a/5=9 a=45 Temperature on Thursday = 4a/5 =4×45/5 =36
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let there be x pupils in the class.
Total increase in marks = (x * 1/2) = x/2.
x/2 = (83 - 63) => x/2 = 20 => x = 40.
Correct Answer: 36.5
Explanation:
Correct Sum = (36 * 50 + 48 - 23) = 1825.
Correct mean = = 1825/50 = 36.5
