Correct Answer: 12 years
Explanation:
Let average of the remaining student be y.
Then from questions ( 5 x 10 ) + ( 5 x 14) + 20y = 30 x 12
? 50 + 70 + 20y = 360
? 20y = 360 ? 120
? 20y = 240
? y = 12.
Correct Answer: 100
Explanation:
Let the number of candidate who passed = y
Then, 39y + 15(120 - y) =120 x 35
? 24y= 4200 -1800
? y= 2400 / 24 = 100
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Production during these 5 days = Total production in a month - production in first 25 days.
= 30 x 58 - 25 x 60
= 240
? Average for last 5 days = 240 / 5
= 48
Correct Answer: 6 years
Explanation:
Let the age of youngest child be y.
so from question y + (y + 4) + (y + 8) + (y + 12) = 4 x 12
? 4y + 24= 48
? y = 6 years
Correct Answer: 37 years
Explanation:
New average = 120% of old average
=120% of 18.5
= (120 x 18.5) / 100
= 22.2
Age of coach = Total weight of 4 players and coach - total weight of 4 players
= 5 x 22.2 - 4 x 18.5
= 37 years
Correct Answer: 75 kg
Explanation:
From question
A + B + C = 3 x 84 = 252 ....(i)
A + B + C + D = 4 x 80 = 320 ...(ii)
From eq. (ii) - (i)
D = ( 320 - 252 ) = 68
From question E = D + 3
? E =( 68 + 3 ) = 71
Now , B + C + D + E = 4 x 79 = 316
? B + C + D = 316 ? 71 = 245
So , A = 320 - 245 = 75 kg .
Correct Answer: 18 years
Explanation:
Total present age of the family = 6 x 22
= 132 years
Total age of the family 7 years ago = 132 - 7 x 6
= 90 years
At that time, the number of members was 5
? Average age at time = 90 / 5 years
= 18 years
Correct Answer: 176 cm
Explanation:
Let the height of A , B, C be y cm, y cm and (y - 2) cm respectively
Then, y + y + (y - 2) = 163 x 40 - 162 x 37
? 3y - 2 = 526
? y = 176 cm
Correct Answer: 14 2/7 KM/hr
Explanation:
Total distance = (200 + 300 + 500) = 1000
Total time = 200/40 + 300/20 + 500/10 = 5 + 15 + 50 = 70 hr
Average speed = Total distance / Total time =1000 / 70 = 14.2857 Km/hr.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Mean = (sum of observation) / (number of observation)
Sum of observation is given as = 70
Number of observation = 20
? Mean = 70/20 = 3.5
But, here observation starts from= 23.
? Mean = 23 + 3.5 = 26.5
