Correct Answer: Rs. 656.25
Explanation:
Assume Hebah has Rs. M
Since 25% more money at Poonam
=> Money at Poonam = M + (25% of M)
=> Money at Poonam = M + 0.25M = Rs. 1.25M
Money with Navaneet is thrice the money with Poonam,
=> Money at Navaneet = 3(1.25M) = Rs. 3.75M
Now, sum of all Money = (M + 1.25M + 3.75M) = Rs. 6M
But given the average of the money is Rs. 350
=> 6M/3 = 350
=> 2M = 350
=> M = 350/2 = Rs. 175
=> Amount of money Navaneet has = Rs. 3.75M = 3.75 x 175 = Rs. 656.25.
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Excluded number = (27 x 5) - (25 x 4) = 135 - 100 = 35.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
The third proportional of two numbers p and q is defined to be that number r such that
p : q = q : r.
Here, required third proportional of 10 & 20, and let it be 'a'
=> 10 : 20 = 20 : a
10a = 20 x 20
=> a = 40
Hence, third proportional of 10 & 20 is 40.
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Numbers of students in section A = x
? Numbers of students in section B and C = (100 ? x)
? x 70 + (100 ? x) 87.5 = 84 100
=> 70x + 87.5 100 ? 87.5x = 8400
=> 8750 ? 17.5x = 8400
=> 17.5x = 8750 ? 8400 => x = 20.
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
Correct Answer: 25.5
Explanation:
We Know that sum of the n natural numbers =
Then sum of 50 natural numbers= = 1250
Average of the 50 natural numbers = = 25.5
Correct Answer: 51 years
Explanation:
Age of the teacher = (37 * 15 - 36 * 14) years = 51 years.
Correct Answer: 2679
Explanation:
Let x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 and x+10 are six consecutive odd numbers.
Given that their average is 52
Then, x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8 + x+10 = 52×6
6x + 30 = 312
x = 47
So Product = 47 × 57 = 2679
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the number of boys = x
From the given data,
=> [21x + 16(18)]/(x+16) = 19
=> 21x - 19x = 19(16) - 16(18)
=> 2x = 16
=> x = 8
Therefore, the number of boys in the class = 8.
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
You could solve this by drawing a Venn diagram. A simpler way is to realize that you can subtract the number of students taking both languages from the numbers taking French to find the number taking only French. Likewise find those taking only German. Then we have:Total = only French + only German + both + neither
78 = (41-9) + (22-9) + 9 + neither.
Not enrolled students = 24
