Correct Answer: 22
Explanation:
Let the number be 'x'.
= 11x
= 22x
=> x = 22.
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: 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: 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]
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
3X + 4y = 240
by substitute through options 48 is correct
Correct Answer: 18/7
Correct Answer: 775
Correct Answer: 79
Explanation:
Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.
Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.
