Options- A. 14
- B. 16
- C. 12
- D. 15
- Correct Answer
- 15
ExplanationLet 'K' be the total number of sweets.
Given total number of students = 112
If sweets are distributed among 112 children,
Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L'=> K/112 = L ....(1)
But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80
Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra.=> K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)
from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get
112L = 80L + 480
32L = 480
L = 15Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Correct Answer: Rs. 616
Explanation:
Let the average expenditure per head be Rs. p
Now, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p
After joining of 15 more students, the average expenditure per head is decreased by Rs. 3 => p-3
Here, given the expenditure of the mess for (44+15 = 59) students is increased by Rs. 33
Therefore, 59(p-3) = 44p + 33
59p - 177 = 44p + 33
15p = 210
=> p = 14
Thus, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p = 44 x 14 = Rs. 616.
Correct Answer: Rs. 30
Explanation:
Let the fixed expenditure of the hotel be Rs.x and the variable expenditure ( which is dependent on the guest ) is Rs.y , then
x + 10y = 600 ---------(1)
x + 20y = 800 ----------(2)
From (1) & (2)
10y = 200
=> y = Rs. 20 and x= 400
Hence the total expenditure when there are 40 guests = 400 + 40 x 20 = 1200
Therefore, average expenditure = 1200/40 = Rs. 30
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
It is the same as a person with 20 years more age replaces an existing person of the group ( or village)
Since the total age of the village having n persons, is being increased by 20 years and the average age of village is being increased by 1 year, hence there are total 20 people in the village.
Alternatively : ( n x 42 ) + 20 = ( n x 43 )
=> n=20
Correct Answer: 2x = y + z
Explanation:
Clearly, we have : x = (3y + 3z ) / 6 or 2x = y + z.
Correct Answer: k+2
Explanation:
The 5 consecutive odd numbers whose average is k are (k-4), (k-2), k, (k+2), (k+4)
Again the average of (k-4), (k-2), k, (k+2), (k+4), (k+6), (k+8) is (k+2)
Correct Answer: Rs. 11,500
Explanation:
Manager's monthly salary
= Rs. (1900 x 25 - 1500 x 24) = Rs. 11,500
Correct Answer: 137
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.
Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.
Correct Answer: Rs. 11111 crore
Explanation:
also ( M - 11111 = 11111 - S)
=>A = 11111
Correct Answer: 26 years
Explanation:
Since we know that the difference b/w the age of any two persons remains always constant, while the ratio of their ages gets changed as the time changes.
so, if the age of his child be x (presently)
Then the age of wife be x + 26 (presently)
Thus the total age = x + ( x + 26) = 32 [ 252-220 =32]
=> x = 3
Therefore, The age of her child is 3 years and her self is 29 years. Hence her age at the time of the birth of her child was 26 years.
