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: 36
Explanation:
Total number of students = 54 x 30
When arranged in rows of 45, number of rows formed are,
= 36.
Correct Answer: 74
Explanation:
Number 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.
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. 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
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
D _ C _ A --------(1)
D > B > C --------(2)
from (1) and (2)
D > B > C > A ---------(3)
Again E _ B _ A
But B > A, from (3)
So E > D > B > C > A [ Since B is the average of E and A so it is eqidistant from both E and A]
