Correct Answer: 64 degrees
Explanation:
Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)
Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees ....(2)
Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :
Temp, on 5th day - Temp on 1st day = 8 degrees.
Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.
Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.
Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.
Correct Answer: 23 years
Explanation:
Let the average age of the whole team be x years.
11x - (26 + 29) = 9 (x - 1)
=> 11x - 9x = 46
=> 2x = 46
=> x = 23.
So, average age of the team is 23 years.
Correct Answer: 19
Correct Answer: 11.5
Explanation:
Middle numbers = [(10.5 x 6 + 11.4 x 6) - 10.9 x 11] = (131.4 - 119-9) = 11.5.
Correct Answer: Rs. 292.50
Explanation:
Let the average expenditure be Rs. x Then,
9x=[(8*30)+(x+20)]<=>9x =x+260 <=> x =32.50
Total money spent = 9x = Rs. (9 x 32.5O) = Rs 292. 50
Correct Answer: 21
Explanation:
Lot the total number of workers be v Then,
8OOOv = (12000 * 7) + 6000 (v - 7) <=> 2000v = 42000 <=> v = 21.
Correct Answer: 665
Explanation:
Let the total score be x.
(x + 92 - 85) / 8 = 84.
So, x + 7 = 672 => x = 665.
Correct Answer: m:27.50 w:22.50
Explanation:
Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. x.
Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5).
Now, 600x + 400 (x - 5) = 25.50 * (600 + 400) <=> 1000x = 27500 <=> x = 27.50.
Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50; Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50.
Correct Answer: 2:3
Explanation:
Let the ratio be x : y
Total boys = 16.4 X x
Total girls = 15.4 X y
Total number of students in class = 16.4x + 15.4y
The average age of all students is 15.8
The total age of boys is 15.8x
The total age of girls is 15.8y
16.4x + 15.4y = 15.8x + 15.8y
0.6 x = 0.4 y
x/y = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3
Correct Answer: 58
