- Question
The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 61. What is the difference between the highest and lowest numbers :
Options- A. 4
- B. 8
- C. 12
- D. 16
- Correct Answer
- 8
ExplanationLet 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

Correct Answer: 3.6 km
Explanation:
| Distance travelled = | ❨ | 18 x | 12 | ❩km = 3.6 km. |
| 60 |
Correct Answer: 121 : 39
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 60 yr
Explanation:
Let the age of father = 5k
and the age of son = 2k
According to the question,
5k x 2k = 1000
? 10k2 = 1000
? k2 = 100
? k = ?100 = 10
? Father's age after 10 yr = (5k + 10)
= 5 x 10 + 10
= 60 yr
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
Here , x = a ? b, y = b ? c, z = c ? a
We have x + y + z = a ? b + b ? c + c ? a = 0
? x3 + y + z ? 3xyz = 0
Hence , the numerical value of algebraic expression is 0 .
Correct Answer: 9 min.
Explanation:
Part filled by (A + B) in x min. + Part filled by A in (30 -x) min. = 1.
| ∴ x | ❨ | 2 | + | 1 | ❩ | + (30 - x). | 2 | = 1 |
| 75 | 45 | 75 |
| ⟹ | 11x | + | (60 -2x) | = 1 |
| 225 | 75 |
⟹ 11x + 180 - 6x = 225.
⟹ x = 9.
Correct Answer: 11 kg
Explanation:
Weight of new student = Total weight of all 20 students - Total weight of initial 19 students
= (20 x 14.8 - 19 x 15) kg
= 11 kg.
Correct Answer: Rs. 5600
Explanation:
Let their shares be Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x.
Then 3x = 2400
? x = 800
? Total amount = 7x = Rs. 5600
Correct Answer: 47619
Explanation:
By hit and trial, we find that
47619 x 7 = 333333.
Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
Volume of rectangular box = 10 x 8 x 6 = 480 cm3
Volume of cubes = 6240 cm3
? Required boxes = Volume of cubes / Volume of rectangular box
= 6240/480 = 13
Hence, 13 boxes are needed.
Correct Answer: ? 60
Explanation:
Let man be represented by m and woman be represented by w.
? 2m + 1w = 1/14
? 14 x (2m + 1w ) = 1 ...(i)
and 4w + 2m = 1/8
8 x (4w + 2m) = 1 ...(ii)
On equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
14 (2m + 1w) = 8 (4w + 2m)
? 28m + 14w = 32w + 16m
? 28m - 16m = 32w - 14w
? 12m = 18w
? m/w = 18/12 = 3/2
So, efficiency of 1 man and 1 woman is 3 : 2.
So, their wages must be in the same ratio
90/x = 3/2
[here, x = wages of a woman ]
? x = 90 x 2 / 3 = ? 60
