- Question
- Average weight of 19 men is 74 kg and the average weight of 38 women is 63 kg. What is the average weight(rounded off to the nearest integer) of all the men and the women together.
Options- A. 59 kg
- B. 65 kg
- C. 69 kg
- D. 67 kg
- Correct Answer
- 67 kg
ExplanationHere n1 = 19, a1 = 74, n2 = 38, a1 = 63
Total average weight = (n1a1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)
= [(19) (74) + (38) (63)] / (19 + 38)
= 3800/57 ? 67 kg - 1. At simple interest, a sum becomes 3 times in 20 yr. Find the time, in which the sum will be double at the same rate of interest.

Correct Answer: 10 yr
Explanation:
Here, n = 3, m = 2, T1 = 20 yr
? T2 = [(m -1) / (n - 1)] x T1
= (2 - 1) / (3 - 1) x 20 = 10 yr
Correct Answer: 122
Explanation:
So, the missing number = 61 x 2 = 122.
Correct Answer: 20 years
Explanation:
Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
⟹ 54 - x = 5x - 30
⟹ 6x = 84
⟹ x = 14.
∴ Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years..

Correct Answer: ? 900
Explanation:
Let the amount be ? a
According to the question,
a x 5/12= 33/4 x 100
? 5a/12 = 15/4 x 100
? a = 12/5 x 15/4 x 100
? a = 12 x 15 x 100/4 x 5
? a = ? 900
Correct Answer: 7x2 = 49
Explanation:
Clearly, 7x2 = 49 or 7x2 - 49 = 0, which is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where b = 0.
Thus, 7x2 - 49 = 0 is a quadratic equation.
Correct Answer:
| 8 |
| 15 |
Explanation:
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 | ; |
| 15 |
| B's 1 day's work = | 1 | ; |
| 20 |
| (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | + | 1 | ❩ | = | 7 | . |
| 15 | 20 | 60 |
| (A + B)'s 4 day's work = | ❨ | 7 | x 4 | ❩ | = | 7 | . |
| 60 | 15 |
| Therefore, Remaining work = | ❨ | 1 - | 7 | ❩ | = | 8 | . |
| 15 | 15 |
Correct Answer: 7
Explanation:
Let the required number days be x
Less spiders, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Less webs, Less days (Direct Proportion)
| Spiders | 1 | : | 7 | ] | :: 7 : x |
| Webs | 7 | : | 1 |
∴ 1 x 7 x x = 7 x 1 x 7
⟹ x = 7.
Correct Answer: 600 m
Explanation:
Let the speed of the train be V
According to the question.
(V + 10) x 12 = (V + 20) x 10
? 6V + 60 = 5V + 100
? x = 100 - 60 = 40 m/s
? Length of the train = (V + 10) x 12
= (40 + 10) x 12 = 600 m
Correct Answer: 35 hours
Explanation:
| Then, pipes B and C will take | x | and | x | hours respectively to fill the tank. |
| 2 | 4 |
| ∴ | 1 | + | 2 | + | 4 | = | 1 |
| x | x | x | 5 |
| ⟹ | 7 | = | 1 |
| x | 5 |
⟹ x = 35 hrs.
