Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

Return speed = $\frac{40}{100}$ x 150 = 60 kmph
Average speed = $\frac{2 \times 40 \times 60}{(40 + 60)}$
$\frac{4800}{100}$ = 48kmph

2) Answer (B)

Required ratio = (40-34)/(34-30)=6/4=3/2

3) Answer (C)

Let the numbers be a,b,c,d and e.

Now $\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}$=57.8*5

a+b+c+d+e=292

Now, $\frac{a+b}{2}$=77.5, a+b=155

Also, $\frac{d+e}{2}$=46, d+e=92.

Now, c=292-(a+b)-(d+e)=292-92-155=42.

Hence, the correct option is C.

4) Answer (E)

Let the numbers be a,b,c,d,e.

Hence (a+b+c+d+e)/5=49

(a+b)/2=48, a+b=96.

(d+e)/2=28,d+e=56

c=245-96-56=93

5) Answer (D)

Let speed of train be x and speed of car be y.

Car covers 520km in 8 hrs, it’s speed= 520/8= 65km/hr

Speed of train = 3 * 65= 195km/hr

Distance covered by train in 13 hrs = 13*195= 2535km

6) Answer (C)

The average score of a cricketer for 13 matches is = 42 runs

Total score in 13 matches will be = 42*13 = 546

Total score of first 5 matches will be = 54*5 = 270

Hence, total score of last 8 matches = 546-270 = 276

So average of the last 8 matches will be = $\frac{276}{8} = 34.5$

7) Answer (A)

The average weight of 21 boys is 64 Kgs.

The average weight of 21 boys and the teacher is 65 Kgs.

So, total weight of 21 boys is 21*64 = 1344

The weight of 21 boys and the teacher = 22*65 = 1430

Hence, the weight of the teacher is 1430 – 1344 = 86 Kgs

8) Answer (E)

There are 9 numbers in the series:

Average =$\frac{253+124+255+534+836+375+101+443+760}{9}$ = 3681/9 = 409

9) Answer (A)

Since the ages of A, B, C, D are consecutive

Let the ages of A, B, C, D be n, n+1,n+2,n+3

$\frac{n+n+1+n+2+n+3}{4} = 49.5$

4n+6 = 49.5*4 = 198

4n = 192

n = 48

Ages of A, B, C, D = 48, 49, 50 ,51

Product of ages of B and D = 49*51 = (50-1)(50+1) =$50^2-1$ = 2500-1 = 2449.

10) Answer (C)

We can calculate the average as follows

= $\frac{62+76+42+84+21+47+28}{7} = 51.42$

11) Answer (C)

Let there be three groups of 25 girls each having averages a, b and c.
25a+25b+25c=1050
a+b+c=42
Now, a = 12 and b = 16
hence, c = 14
Therefore average age of remaining 25 girls = c = 14 years.
Hence, option C is correct option.

12) Answer (D)

The average weight of 15 girls is 54 kgs.
Therefore, total weight = 810
Now, after adding teachers weight the average increase to 56 kgs
Let teachers weight be x.
(810+x)/16 = 56
x= 86
The teachers weight is 86 kgs.

The correct option is option D.
13) Answer (A)

Average of all the scores = $\frac{Sum of all the scores}{Number of scores}$
=$\frac{152 + 635 + 121 + 423 + 632 + 744 + 365 + 253 + 302}{9}$
= 403
Option A is the correct answer.
14) Answer (E)

Let A = x
B= x+1
C= x+2
D=x+3
Now, average = 56.5
(A+B+C+D)/4 = 56.5
4x +6 = 56.5*4
4x +6 = 226
4x = 220
x = 55
Therefore A,B,C and D are 55,56,57 and 58 respectively.
Product of A and C = 55*57 = 3135
15) Answer (B)

As, A is the smallest even number of the four,
B = A+2
C = B+2 = A+4
D = C+2 = A+6

Hence, their sum is A + (A+2) + (A+4) + (A+6) = 4A + 12
And their average is (4A+12)/4 = A + 3
This equals 65.
So, A = 62 and D = A+6 = 68

Their product equals 62*68 = 4216

16) Answer (A)

Let the five numbers be A,B,C,D and E.
So, A+B+C+D+E = 555
A+B = 75*2 = 150
C = 115
Hence, D+E = 555-150-115 = 290 and their average equals 145

17) Answer (A)

Average of all 20 matches = {Total runs scored in the first 18 matches + Runs scored in 19th match + Runs scored in 20th matches}$\div${20}
= ${(18*56.5 + 101 + 123)}\div{20}$
= 62.05
Option A is correct answer.
18) Answer (B)

Let the average of the six batsmen be x.

So, runs scored by the captain = x+30

Total score of the team = 6x + x + 30 = 7x + 30 = 310 => x = 40

So, the score of the captain = 70

19) Answer (B)

A+B+C+D = 40*4 = 160

A+B+E+F = 40*4 = 160

So, A+B = 160 – C – D = 160 – E – F

So, C + D = E + F

Option b) is the correct answer.

20) Answer (E)

Consider the following set: {2, 4, 6}

The mean of the set is 4 and so is the median. From this, we can rule out options a), c) and d).

Consider another set: {1, 3, 5}. Here also, mean = median = 3

This case rules out option b).

So, option e) is the correct answer.
