Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Let there be x successful candidates in the exam.
Unsuccessful candidates = 120 – x
Total score = 35 x 120
Total score is also equal to x * 39 + (120 – x) * 15
So, x = (35 * 120 – 120 * 15)/ 24 = 120 * 20 / 24 = 100
2) Answer (D)
On correction, total increase in marks = 45 – 15 = 30 marks.
Number of students = 30
So, increase in the average = 30/30 = 1 mark.
3) Answer (C)
The average age increases with age. So, after 10 years, the average age is 20 + 10 = 30 years.
4) Answer (C)
After the students left, there will be 32 students with the same average height. 4 ft and 2 inches
Total height = 32 x 4.17 = 133.44
Total height of 6 students is 33 ft and 4 inches. = 33.33
New total height = 133.44 + 33.33 = 166.77
New average height = 166.77/ 38 = 4 feet 4 inches
5) Answer (C)
Total number of hours worked by the man = 14 x 2 + 12 x 3 = 64 hours
So, the average in 6 days = 64/6 = 10 hours and 40 mins
6) Answer (A)
Let his monthly salary be x rupees.
So, 5 (x – 1200) + 7 (x-1300) = 2900
12x – 6000 – 9100 = 2900
So, x = 18000/12 = 1500
7) Answer (C)
Total temperature for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 40 x 3 + 45 = 165 C
Total for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday = 41 x 3 = 123 C
So,
Temperature for Monday = 165 – 123 = 42 C
8) Answer (B)
Let the first number be 3x. Second number is 6x. Third number is 2x.
So average = (2x + 3x + 6x)/3 = 11x/3
But 11x/3 = 44
So, x = 12
6x = 72
9) Answer (B)
The average of the three numbers is 60
The first number is one fourths of the sum of the others.
or 4p = q + r
$ \frac {p + q + r}{3}$ = 60
So, 5p/3 = 60
p = 180/5 = 36
10) Answer (C)
The total age of the 5 members = 120 years.
Age of the youngest member is 6 years.
Total age of the rest of the group = 114 years.
Average age = 114/4
Average age 6 years ago = 114/4 – 6 = 28.5 – 6 = 22.5 years.
11) Answer (A)
Let the ninth person’s expenses be x rupees.
Total expense by the group = x + 240
Average = (x+ 240)/9
But the average is 20 less than x
(x+240)/9 + 20 = x
x + 240 + 180 = 9x
8x = 420
x = 52.5
12) Answer (A)
Let the weight of the new player be x kgs.
Total weight as a result of his inclusion = TW – 42 + x
Average weight = (TW – 42 + x)/11
But average weight before = TW/11
(TW – 42 + x)/11 – TW/11 = .1
x – 42 = 1.1
So, x = 43.1 kgs
13) Answer (C)
Let the average age of the women be A years.
Total of their ages = 2A
Total of the eight persons = ET
When replaced (ET – 80 + 2A)/8 = ET/8 + 2
2A – 80 = 16
A = 96/2 = 48
14) Answer (C)
Let the total distance be 1200 kms
Time taken for first one fourth = 300/ 45 = 20/3 = 6.67
Next one third time = 400/ 48 = 25/3 = 8.33
Remaining = 500/50 = 10
Average speed = total distance / total time = 1200/25 = 48 kmph
15) Answer (C)
Let the total visitors be 20. Total revenue = 2 x 150 + 5 x 75 + 13 x 25 = 300 + 375 + 325
= 1000
Average ticket price = Total revenue / total visitors = 1000/ 20 = 50
