Correct Answer: 14 yr
Explanation:
Total actual age of 54 girls = (54 x 14) - 13 + 10 .5
= 753.5 yr
? Require average age = 753.5/54
= 13.95 yr
= 14 yr(approx).
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
Let ages of Rakesh, Mohan and Ramesh be R, M and r, respectively .
Then, R + M = 15 x 2 = 30.......(i)
M + r = 12 x 2 = 24 ........(ii)
r + R = 13 x 2 = 26 ..... (iii)
Adding Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
2(R + M + r) = 30 + 24 + 26 = 80
? R + M + r = 40
Subtracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), we get
M = 40 - 26 = 14
Correct Answer: 400
Explanation:
Total marks for three examinations = 3x 500 = 1500
Total required marks in three examinations = 60% of 1500
=( 3 x 500 x 60 ) / 100
= 900
Marks secured in first examination = 45 % of 500
=( 500 x 45 ) / 100
=225
Marks secured in third examination = 55 % of 500
=( 500 x 55 ) / 100
=275
Thus, the required marks in third examination
=900 - ( 225 + 275 )
=900 - 500
= 400
Correct Answer: Rs. 20
Explanation:
Total earning for the week = Sum of earning of first four days + Sum of earning of last four days - Earning of 4th day
= 4 x18 + 4 x 22 -20
= Rs. 140
? Average earning = 140 / 7
= Rs. 20
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
Let the total number of workers be y.
So sum of salary for all workers = sum of salary of 7 technician + sum of salary for other y -7 workers.
7 x 1000 + 780(y -7) = 850 y
? 7000 + 780y - 5460 = 850y
? 70y = 1540
? y = 22
So total number of workers = 22
Correct Answer: 66 kg
Explanation:
Weight increase = 8 x 2 kg = 16 kg
weight of new man= 50 + 16 = 66 kg
Correct Answer: 37 years
Explanation:
New average = 120% of old average
=120% of 18.5
= (120 x 18.5) / 100
= 22.2
Age of coach = Total weight of 4 players and coach - total weight of 4 players
= 5 x 22.2 - 4 x 18.5
= 37 years
Correct Answer: 6 years
Explanation:
Let the age of youngest child be y.
so from question y + (y + 4) + (y + 8) + (y + 12) = 4 x 12
? 4y + 24= 48
? y = 6 years
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Production during these 5 days = Total production in a month - production in first 25 days.
= 30 x 58 - 25 x 60
= 240
? Average for last 5 days = 240 / 5
= 48
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
Let the number of candidate who passed = y
Then, 39y + 15(120 - y) =120 x 35
? 24y= 4200 -1800
? y= 2400 / 24 = 100
