Correct Answer: 3 year
Explanation:
Age of A : age of B : age of C = 3 : 5 : 7
So the average age of 3 boys (3x + 5x + 7x ) /3 = 15
?15x= 15 x 3
? x= 3
Correct Answer: ? 29.25 per kg
Explanation:
Average cost =( w1x1 + w2x2 + w3x3 ) / (w1 +w2 +w3)
= ( 1200 x 30 +1500 x 25 + 2000 x 32) / ( 1200 + 1500 + 2000 )
= 137500 / 4700
= ? 29.25 per kg
Correct Answer: 152?3
Explanation:
a + b + c = 11 x 3 = 33 .....(i)
c + d + e = 17 x 3 = 51 .....(ii)
e + f = 22 x 2 = 44 .....(iii)
e + c = 17 x 2 = 34 .....(iv)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iv), we get
34 + d = 51
? d = 17
Now adding Eqs. (i), (ii), (v), we get
a + b + c + d + e + f = 33 + 44 + 17 = 94
? Average of a, b, c, d, e and f = 94/6 = 152?3
Correct Answer: 38 yr
Explanation:
Sum of the ages of 4 men five years ago
= 48 x 4
=192 yr
And sum of present ages of the four men
= 192 + 5 x 4
= 212 yr
Now ( 212 + Age of the new man ) / 5 = 50
? Age of the new man = 50 x 5 - 212
= 38 yr.
Correct Answer: 29.5° C
Explanation:
Let the temperature on the last day of the week be x° C
Average of the week = ( 3 x 25 + 3 x 27 + x ) / 7 = 26.5
? 3 x 25 + 3 x 27 + x = 7 x 26.5
? 156+ x = 185.5
? x = 29.5
So, the temprature on the last day of the week is 29.5° C
Correct Answer: 20 km/hr
Explanation:
Let total journey = y km
Total time taken = time taken during 60% of distance + time taken during 20% of distance + time taken in remaining distance
= [( 60y / 100 ) / 30] + [( 20y / 100 ) / 20] + [( 20y / 100 ) / 10]
= ( y / 50 + y / 100 + y / 50 )hrs
= y/20 hours.
Average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken.
= [y / ( y/20 )] km/hr
=20 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 70 km
Explanation:
Let total journey be y km.
From question y/35 - y/40= 15/60
? y = ( 35 x 40 )/ ( 4 x 5 ) = 70
? Total Journey = 70 km
Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
New sum of numbers = previous sum - 26 + 36
=10 x 15 - 26 + 36
= 160
? Correct Average = 160 / 10 = 16.
Correct Answer: 47
Explanation:
Seventh Result = sum of first 7 results + sum of last 7 results - sum of all 13 results.
? Seventh Result = (7 x 63) + (7 x 70) - (13 x 68 )
=47
Correct Answer: 78
Explanation:
Thirteenth Result = sum of all 25 results - sum of first 12 results - sum of last 12 results.
= 25 x 18 - 12 x 14 ? 12 x 17
=78
