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.

Correct Answer: 30 kmph
Explanation:
Since equal distances are covered at 40 kmph and 24 kmph, we can apply the formula 2xy/(x+y) Average speed= (2×40×24)/(40+24) = 30 kmph
Correct Answer: 2:3
Explanation:
Let the number of boys = b
Let the number of girls = g
From the given data,
81b + 83g = 81.8(b + g)
81.8b - 81b = 83g - 81.8g
0.8b = 1.2g
b/g = 1.2/0.8 = 12/8 = 3/2
=> g : b = 2 : 3
Hence, ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys = 2 : 3.
Correct Answer: 69
Explanation:
The total marks of all 5 subjects = 82 x 5 = 410
Total marks of 1st two subjects = 86.5 x 2 = 173
Total marks of last two subjects = 84 x 2 = 168
Now, marks in 3rd subject = 410 - (173 + 168) = 410 - 341 = 69.
