Correct Answer: 52.66 kgs
Explanation:
Given total number of passengers in the bus = 45
First average weight of 45 passengers = 52 kgs
Average weight of 5 passengers who leave bus = 48
Average weight of 5 passengers who joined the bus = 54
Therefore, the net average weight of the bus is given by
Correct Answer: 285
Explanation:
Since the month begins with a Sunday, so there will be five Sundays in the month,
Required average = (510 * 5 + 240 * 25) / 30 = 8550/30 = 285.
Correct Answer: 58
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: 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: Rs. 1536.07
Explanation:
Let average expenditure was Rs. R
13 x 79 + 6x(R + 4) = 19R
=> R = Rs. 80.84
Total money = 19 x 80.84 = Rs. 1536.07.

Required average = (9.2 / 2) = 4.6.
