Correct Answer: 6
Correct Answer: ?33 : ?17
Correct Answer: 6?6
Correct Answer: 4/9
Correct Answer: 5.7 cm
Correct Answer: 76
Explanation:
Average = total runs / no.of innings = 32
So, total = Average x no.of innings = 32 x 10 = 320.
Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 32+4 = 36runs
Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 36 x 11 = 396
Runs made in the 11th inning = 396 - 320 = 76
Correct Answer: 4991
Explanation:
Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 34009]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991.
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
Average of 20 numbers = 0.
Sum of 20 numbers = (0 * 20) = 0.
It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a, then 20th number is (- a).
Correct Answer: 85 kg
Explanation:
Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.
Weight of new person = (65 + 20) kg = 85 kg.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8.
Then [x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) ] / 5 = 61.
or 5x + 20 = 305 or x = 57.
So, required difference = (57 + 8) - 57 = 8
