? Ans = (3000 x 6) / 120 = Rs. 150
Correct Answer: 14.25 yr
Explanation:
Sum of the age of 45 students = 45 x 13 = 585 yr
Sum of the age of 15 students = 15 x18 = 270 yr
Sum of the age of all students = sum of the age of 45 students + sum of the age of 15 students
= 585 yr + 270 yr
=855 yr
? Average age of all students = 855 ? 60
= 14.25 yr
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
Let the average of 14th innings = x
? Average of 15th innings = x+2
Then, 14x+72 = 15(x+2)
? 14x+72 = 15x +30
? x = 42
? Average for 15th innings = x+2 = 42 + 2 = 44

Correct Answer: ?. 97.37 per kg
Explanation:
CP per kg of the mixture = (w1x1 + w2x2 + w3x3) / (w1 + w2 + w3)
= (7 x 72 + 33 x 87 + 35 x 85)/75
= (504 + 2871 + 2975)/75 = 6350/75 = ? 84.66
Profit = 15%
? SP per kg = ? 84.66 + 15% of ? 84.66
= ? 97.37
Correct Answer: 15?4
Explanation:
race remains to be run = 5 - 5?4 = 15?4 .
Correct Answer:
| 16 | 2 | % |
| 3 |
Explanation:
| S.P. = 102% of Rs. 600 = | ❨ | 102 | x 600 | ❩ | = Rs. 612. |
| 100 |
Now, P.W. = Rs. 612 and sum = Rs. 688.50.
∴ T.D. = Rs. (688.50 - 612) = Rs. 76.50.
Thus, S.I. on Rs. 612 for 9 months is Rs. 76.50.
| ∴ Rate = | ❨ | 100 x 76.50 | ❩% | = 16⅔% |

Correct Answer: 25
Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
(4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4)5 x (4 x 4 x 4)8 ÷ (4)3 = (64)?
? (46)5 x (43)8 x 1/(4)3 = (43)?
? (4)30 x (4)24/(4)3 = (4)3 x ?
? 430 + 24 - 3 = 43 x ?
? 451 = 43 x ? ? 3 x ? = 51
? ? = 51/3 = 17
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
According to question,
A number is doubled and 9 is added then 2N + 9
Again According to question,
If the resultant is tripled, it becomes 75.
3 ( 2N + 9 ) = 75
? 2N + 9 = 25
?2N =16
? N = 8
