In a mens hostel, there were 95 students. To accommodate 30 more students the average is decreased by rupees 5. But total expenditure increased by Rs.500. Find the total expenditure of the hostel now ?
Options- A. Rs. 4680
- B. Rs. 4420
- C. Rs. 4960
- D. Rs. 5480
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 4680
ExplanationLet the expenditure on the 95 students be 'x'
Then,
95x + 500 = 120(x ? 5)
95x + 500 = 120x - 600
120x - 95x = 1100
25x = 1100
=> x = 44Therefore, total expenditure of the hostel becomes
95 x 44 + 500 = 4680. - 1. In a race of 600 m, A can beat B by 60 m and in a race of 500 m, B can beat C by 50 m. By how many meter will A beat C in a race of 400 m?

Correct Answer: 76 m
Explanation:
If A runs 600 m, B runs 600 - 60 or, 540 m.
If A runs 400 m, B runs = 540 x 400 / 600 = 360 m.
Now, when B runs 500 m, C runs 500 - 50 = 450 m.
? When B runs 360 m, C runs = 450 * 360 / 500 = 324 m
? A beats C by 400 - 324 = 76 m.
Correct Answer: 4.5
Explanation:
Let Y = 0.15 / (0.5 / 15)
= (15/100) / [(5/100) / 15)
= 4.5
Correct Answer: Either 1 or 2
Explanation:
Putting arbitrary values of a and b.
IIIustration 1:
Let a = 9 and b = 8
HCF (8 + 9, 9 - 8)
HCF (17, 1) = 1
IIIustration 2:
Let a = 23 and b =17
HCF (17 + 23, 23 -17)
HCF ( 40, 6) = 2
Hence, HCF (a + b, a - b) can either be 1 or 2.
Correct Answer: 273258
