Answers & Solutions for Average Questions for SSC CGL PDF:
1) Answer (A)
As incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 2. So , assume incomes of A and B be 3z and 2z
respectively
As the expenditure are in the ratio 5:3. So assume expenditure of A and B be 5y and 3y
respectively
Now it is given that every one saves Rs 1000
3z – 5y = 1000 ……….(1)
2z – 3y = 1000……….(2)
Solving equations 1 and 2
y = Rs 1000
z = Rs 2000
hence income of A = 3z = 3 x 2000 = Rs 6000
2) Answer (D)
let the marked price of the article be Rs y
Ist case :
Two succesive discounts 40% followed by 30%
So after these two successive discounts the value of article becomes = 0.6 × 0.7 × y = 0.42 y
2nd case:
Two successive discounts are 45% followed by 20%
So after these two discounts the price if article becomes = 0.55 × 0.8 × y = 0.44y
It is given that :
0.44y – 0.42y = 12
0.02y = 12
y = Rs 600
3) Answer (A)
Checking option 1 )
12: 9 = 4:3, 16 : 12 = 4:3
Checking option 2)
13 : 11 = 13:11 , 5 : 4= 5:4
checking option 3)
30 : 45 = 2:3, 26 : 24 = 13:12
Checking option 4)
6 :10 = 3:5, 4: 10 = 2:5
So option A is correct
4) Answer (C)
let the numbers of 5 candidates be a-3,a-1,a+1,a+3,a+5
It is given that
a-3+a-1+a+1+a+3+a+5 =185
5a + 5 = 185
5a = 180
a= 36
The highest score = a + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41
5) Answer (A)
As the numbers are in the ratio of 1:2:3 so let the numbers be y,2y,3y
The numbers taken are co prime, => the highest common factor = y
and y = 12
=> Numbers are 12,24,36
6) Answer (B)
As the numbers are in the ratio 3:4
so assume the numbers are 3z and 4z
LCM of 3z and 4z = 12z
it is given that LCM of the above two numbers are = 180
So, 12z = 180
z = 15
and hence 2nd number = 4z = 4 x 15 = 60
7) Answer (A)
It is given that A person distributes his pens among four friends A, B. C, D in the ratio 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 : 1/6
So when he is distributing pens , then the number of pens distributed to everyone should be a natural number and hence the number of total pens should be a multiple of 3,4,5,6
and the smallest natural number divisible by 3,4,5,6 is its LCM which is = 60
and hence minimum 60 pens should be there with the man before distribution.
8) Answer (B)
Let the total number of people be 100 and total marks be 100.
Average = 52 => Total = 5200
Average of brightest 20 = 80=>Total marks scored by brightest 20 = 80*20 = 1600
Average of dullest 25 =31. => Total marks scored by dullest 25 = 25*31= 775
Marks scored by remaining 55 = 5200 -1600 – 775 = 2825
Average = 2825/55 = 51.4 % (Approx.)
Option B is the right answer.
9) Answer (C)
Number of teachers = 10 years
Let the initial average age be A years
total age before retirement = 10A
Now new average age =( A-3) years
So new total age after new person joined= 10x(A-3) = 10A – 30 ………….(1)
let the age of retired teacher be z years, So
new total age can be calculated also as= 10A – z +25 ……..(2)
equations 1 and 2 are equal
so, 10A – 30 = 10A – z +25
z = 55 years.
10) Answer (D)
Initial ratio of the numbers 1:2:3
So, let the numbers be y , 2y , 3y
Now adding 5 to each number will give us y+5, 2y+5, 3y+5
as it is given that new ratio is 2:3:4 so assume that the new numbers are 2z, 3z, 4z
and hence we can relate numbers in following way:
y+5 = 2z…………(1)
2y + 5 = 3z……..(2)
3y+5 = 4z ………..(3)
from equation 1 and 2
y = 5 and z = 5
So initially the numbers are
(5 , 10 , 15 )
