Options- A. 34° C
- B. 35.5° C
- C. 36° C
- D. 36.5° C
- Correct Answer
- 36° C
ExplanationM + 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 - 1. Ten years ago the average age of a family of 4 members was 24 years. Two children having been born average age of the family is same today. What is the present age of the youngest child if they differ in age by 2 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: 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: 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: 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: increase by 1
Explanation:
Sum 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 .
Correct Answer: 15 years
Explanation:
Increase in sum of age during 3 years = 3 x 5 years
= 15 years
So , the difference between ages of old and new member is 15 years
Correct Answer: 17 years 7 month
Explanation:
Decrease in sum of age = 11 x 2 months
= 1 year 10 months
Total age of reserves = (17 + 20 ) years - (1 year 10 month)
= 35 years 2 months
Average age of the reserves = (35 years 2 months ) / 2
= 17 years 7 months
Correct Answer: 50 years
Explanation:
Total age of Ram and shyam 5 years ago
= 2 x 20 = 40 years
? Total age of Ram and Shyam at present
= 40 + 5 + 5 = 50 years
Mohan's age now =90 - 50 years = 40 years
Mohan's age 10 years hence = 40 + 10 years
= 50 years
Correct Answer: 20, 22, 18
Explanation:
Let a, b, c are the ages of A, B and C respectively
a + b = 2 X 20 = 40 ...(1)
b + c = 2 x 19 = 38 ...(2)
c + a = 2 x 21 = 42 ...(3)
Adding all the 3 equalities
2a + 2b + 2c = 120
a + b + c = 60 --- (4)
From eq. (2) and (4)
a = 22
From eq. (1) and (4)
b = 18
From eq. (4)
c= 20
? Age of A = 22 years
Age of B = 18 years
Age of C = 20 years
Correct Answer: 37
Explanation:
Even numbers between 11 to 63
= 12,14,16,18,20,..........,62.
Clearly, this is a series of consecutive even number
According to the formula
Average of consecutive even numbers = (First number + Last number)/2
= (12 + 62)/2
= 74/2
= 37
