Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Decreasing order of average = Decreasing order of total runs scored.
Runs scored by :
A = 70 + 105 + 55 + 135 = 365
B = 40 + 35 + 95 + 72 = 242
C = 60 + 68 + 75 + 85 = 288
D = 95 + 45 + 55 + 60 = 255
E = 105 + 110 + 125 + 122 = 462
$\therefore$ Decreasing order = E > A > C > D > B
=> Ans – (A)
2) Answer (D)
Sum of the cubes of the first $n$ natural numbers = $[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2$
=> Sum of the cubes of the first 13 natural numbers = $[\frac{13(13+1)}{2}]^2$
=> $(13)^2\times49$
$\therefore$ Required average = $\frac{(13)^2\times49}{13}$
= $13\times49=637$
=> Ans – (D)
3) Answer (B)
Average of 50 results = 30
=> Sum of 50 results = $30\times50=1500$
After correcting the mistake new sum = $1500-33+73=1540$
=> Correct average = $\frac{1540}{50}=30.8$
=> Ans – (B)
4) Answer (A)
Average runs scored by a batsman in 7 matches = 53
=> Total runs scored in 7 matches = $53\times7=371$
Similarly, total runs scored in 9 matches = $33\times9=297$
$\therefore$ Average runs scored by the batsman in 16 matches = $\frac{(371+297)}{16}$
= $\frac{668}{16}=41.75$
=> Ans – (A)
5) Answer (C)
Let the number of students who passed the examination = $x$
=> Number of students who failed = $(150-x)$
Average marks of 150 students = 40
=> Total marks = $40\times150=6000$
Similarly, total marks scored by passed students = $60x$
According to ques,
=> $60x+20(150-x)=6000$
=> $60x+3000-20x=6000$
=> $40x=6000-3000=3000$
=> $x=\frac{3000}{40}=75$
$\therefore$ The number of students who passed the examination = 75
=> Ans – (C)
6) Answer (B)
Total production (in ‘000 tonnes) of all companies in year 2013
= 386 + 402 + 268 + 360 + 450 = 1866
=> Required average = $\frac{1866}{5}=373.2$
=> Ans – (B)
7) Answer (C)
Average of 11 results = 182
=> Sum of 11 results = $182\times11=2002$
Similarly, sum of first 6 results = $199\times6=1194$
And sum of last 6 results = $161\times6=966$
$\therefore$ 6th result = $(1194+966)-2002=158$
=> Ans – (C)
8) Answer (A)
Average of 45 results = 27
=> Sum of 45 results = $27\times45=1215$
After correcting the mistake new sum = $1215-93+39=1161$
=> Correct average = $\frac{1161}{45}=25.8$
=> Ans – (A)
9) Answer (A)
Total marks obtained by all six students in subject R
= 80 + 78 + 55 + 74 + 83 + 95 = 465
=> Required average = $\frac{465}{6}=77.5$
=> Ans – (A)
10) Answer (C)
Total marks in the examination = 432
Average marks per subject = $\frac{432}{5}=86.4$
Marks obtained in :
Hindi = $\frac{65^\circ}{360^\circ}\times432=78$
English = $\frac{75^\circ}{360^\circ}\times432=90$
Maths = $\frac{80^\circ}{360^\circ}\times432=96$
Science = $\frac{70^\circ}{360^\circ}\times432=84$
Social Science = $\frac{70^\circ}{360^\circ}\times432=84$
Thus, only in 2 subjects (English and Maths), marks obtained are more than the average marks per subject
=> Ans – (C)
11) Answer (B)
Sum of ages of husband and wife at the time of their marriage = $23\times2=46$ years
Sum of the family after 5 years = 5 years of husband + 5 years of wife + 1 year of child
=> Total age = $46+5+5+1=57$ years
=> Required average = $\frac{57}{3}=19$ years
=> Ans – (B)
12) Answer (A)
Average height of 6 friends = 167 cm
=> Sum of height of 6 friends = $167\times6=1002$ cm
When the boy with height 162 cm left, sum of height of remaining 5 friends = $1002-162=840$ cm
=> Required average = $\frac{840}{5}=168$ cm
=> Ans – (A)
13) Answer (B)
Let average weight of 8 persons = $x$ kg and weight of new person = $y$ kg
=> Sum of weights of persons = $8x$ kg
According to ques,
=> $\frac{8x-65+y}{8}=x+2.5$
=> $8x-65+y=8x+20$
=> $y=20+65=85$
$\therefore$ The weight of the new person = 85 kg
=> Ans – (B)
14) Answer (D)
Let the 8 numbers be $x_1,x_2,…..,x_8$
Sum of these 8 numbers = $x_1+x_2+…..+x_8=27\times8=216$ ————–(i)
If each number is multiplied by 8, => Numbers = $8x_1,8x_2,…..,8x_8$
Sum = $8(x_1+x_2+…..+x_8)$
= $8\times216$
$\therefore$ New average = $\frac{8\times216}{8}=216$
=> Ans – (D)
15) Answer (B)
Average weight of 30 girls = 16 kg
=> Total weight of 30 girls = $16\times30=480$ kg
Similarly, total weight of remaining $(50-30=20)$ boys = $15.5\times20=310$ kg
$\therefore$ Average weight of all the students in the class = $\frac{(480+310)}{50}$
= $\frac{79}{5}=15.8$ kg
=> Ans – (B)
