The average score of boys in an examination in a school is 81 and that of the girls is 83 and the average score of the school is 81.8. Then what will be ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys, in the examination?
Options- A. 3:2
- B. 2:3
- C. 4:3
- D. 3:4
- Correct Answer
- 2:3
ExplanationLet 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: 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: 10
Explanation:
Total employees =
Hence number of educated employees = 30-20 = 10
Correct Answer: 4.6
Explanation:
Sum of the remaining two numbers = (3.95 * 6) - [(3.4 * 2) + (3.85 * 2)]
= 23.70 - (6.8 + 7.7) = 23.70 - 14.5 = 9.20.
Required average = (9.2 / 2) = 4.6.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Total money decided to contribute = 750 x 12 = 9000
Let 'b' boys dropped
The rest paid 150/- more
=> (12 - b) x 900 = 9000
=> b = 2
Hence, the number of boys who dropped out is 2.
Correct Answer: 3 M^2
Explanation:
We have : ( a + b + c) / 3 = M or (a + b + c) = 3M.
Now. .
Required mean = .
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.
Correct Answer: 37
Explanation:
16x + 85 = 17(x + 3)
x = 34 + 3 = 37
Correct Answer: 1.5
Explanation:
Given Five boxes of bananas sell for Rs. 30.
=> 1 Box of Bananas for = 30/5 = Rs. 6
Then, for Rs. 9
=> 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5
Hence, for Rs. 9, 1.5 box of bananas can buy.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Given number of boxes = 14
Number of workers = 4
Now, number of whole boxes per worker = 14/4 = 3.5
Hence, number of whole boxes per each coworker = 3
Correct Answer: 10,16
Explanation:
Total pice of the two books = Rs. [(12 x 10) - (11.75 x 8)]
= Rs. (120 - 94) = Rs. 26.
let the price of one book be Rs. x
Then, the price of other book = Rs. (x + 60% of x) = Rs.(x+(3/5)x) = Rs. (8/5)x
So, x+(8/5)x =26 <=> x =10
The prices of the two books are Rs. 10 and Rs. 16
