Correct Answer: Rs. 4991
Explanation:
Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
∴ Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991.
Correct Answer: 6.25
Explanation:
| Required run rate = | ❨ | 282 - (3.2 x 10) | ❩ | = | 250 | = 6.25 |
| 40 | 40 |
Correct Answer: 19
Explanation:
Average of 20 numbers = 0.
∴ Sum of 20 numbers (0 x 20) = 0.
It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a then 20th number is (-a).
Correct Answer: 4000
Explanation:
Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get: 2(P + Q + R) = 33000 or P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.
∴ P's monthly income = Rs. 4000.
Correct Answer: 31 kg
Explanation:
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:
A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
∴ B's weight = 31 kg.

Correct Answer: 85 kg
Explanation:
Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.
Weight of new person = (65 + 20) kg = 85 kg.
Correct Answer: 40 years
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: 40
Explanation:
Let there be x pupils in the class.
| Total increase in marks = | ❨ | x x | 1 | ❩ | = | x |
| 2 | 2 |
| ∴ | x | = (83 - 63) ⟹ | x | = 20 ⟹ x= 40. |
