Options- A. Increase by 2
- B. increase by 1
- C. Remains the same
- D. Increase by 1.4
- Correct Answer
- increase by 1
ExplanationSum of 5 consecutive integers
x + ( x +1 ) + ( x +2 ) + ( x + 3 ) + ( x +4 ) = 5n
? 5x + 10 = 5n
? x = ( n ? 2 ) ......(i)
Average of 7 consecutive integers
= [( 5x + 10 ) + ( x + 5 ) + ( x + 6 )] / 7
= 7x + 21 / 7
= x + 3 .....(ii)
from eq. (i) and (ii)
New average = x + 3 = ( n ? 2 + 3 ) = n + 1
So , the new average increases by 1 . - 1. The average temperature of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was 38° C and that of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was 40° C, if the temperature on Monday was 30° C, the temperature of Friday was?

Correct Answer: 38°
Explanation:
From question
M + T + W + TH = 4 x 38° = 152°
? T + W + TH =152° ? 30° = 122°
Again from question
? T + W + TH + F = 4 x 40° = 160°
? F = 160° ? 122°
= 38°
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
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: 16
Explanation:
New sum of numbers = previous sum - 26 + 36
=10 x 15 - 26 + 36
= 160
? Correct Average = 160 / 10 = 16.
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: 85
Explanation:
Let the number of wickets taken before the last match = y
Bowler's overall average = total run scored / total wicket taken by bowler
Then, (12.4y + 26 ) / (y + 5) = 12
? x = 85
Correct Answer: Rs . 420
Explanation:
Let the original expenditure be Rs. y per day ,
Then, y / 35 - [( y + 42 ) / 42 ] = 1
? 42y - 35 ( y + 42 ) = 35 x 42
? 7y = 35 x 42 + 35 x 42
? y = ( 2 x 35 x 42 ) / 7
= 420
Hence , the original expenditure is Rs . 420
Correct Answer: 4 year
Explanation:
Age of child = sum of age of husband , wife and child - sum of age of husband and wife.
= [(20 x 3) - (23 x 2 + 5 x 2)] years
= 4 years.
Correct Answer: 3years
Explanation:
Let the age of youngest child be y.
Then y + ( y + 2 ) = ( 24 x 6 ) - ( 24 x 4 + 4 x 10)
= 144 - 136
? 2y + 2 = 8
? y =3 years
Correct Answer: 36° C
Explanation:
M + T + W = 3 x 37 = 111° C .....(1)
T + W + Th = 3 x 34 = 102 ° C ......(ii)
Let M = y
Then, Th = 4y/5
subtraction (ii) from (i) we get,
M - Th = 9° C
? y - 4y / 5 = 9° C
? y = 45° C
? Temperature on thursday = (4 x 45) / 5° C
= 36° C
