ExplanationNumber of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12
To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.
Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74. - 1. The average of the two-digit numbers, which remain the same when the dibits inter-change their positions, is :

Correct Answer: 55
Explanation:
Average = (11 + 22 + 33 + 44 + 55 + 66 + 77 + 88 + 99) / 9
=( (11 + 99) + (22 + 88) + (33 + 77) + (44 + 66) + 55) / 9
= (4 * 110 + 55)/9 = 495 / 9 = 55.
Correct Answer: 25
Correct Answer: Rs. 1495
Explanation:
Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x'
But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70
20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25
20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25
19x = 1330 + 90.25
19x = 1420.25
x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75
But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.
Correct Answer: 33
Explanation:
Average of 26,29,35 and 43 is 33.25 . Also the average of 26 , 29, n, 35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35 i.e,
=> 125 < 26+29+n+35+43 < 175
=> 125 < 133 + n < 175
=> n < 42
Since the value of n is an integer and greater than 33.25 then 33 < n < 42 for every integer n.
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.
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Total number of students = 54 x 30
When arranged in rows of 45, number of rows formed are,
= 36.
Correct Answer: 31( 5/7)
Explanation:
Required average = (67 * 2 + 35 * 2 + 6 * 3) / (2 + 2 + 3)
= (134 + 70 + 18) / 7 = 222 / 7 = 31(5/7) years.
Correct Answer: 4/7
Explanation:
One way to deal with fractions is to convert them all to decimals.
In this case all you would need to do is to see which is greater than 0.5.
Otherwise to see which is greater than ½, double the numerator and see if the result is greater than the denominator. In B doubling the numerator gives us 8, which is bigger than 7.
Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
Let the number be 'x'.
= 11x
= 22x
=> x = 22.
Correct Answer: Rs. 4250
Explanation:
Amithab's total expenditure for Jan - June = 4200 x 6 = 25200
Expenditure for Feb - June = 25200-1200 = 24000
Expenditure for the months of Feb - July = 24000 + 1500 =25500
The average expenditure = 25500/6 = 4250
