Question 1: A group of 20 girls has average age of 12 years. Average of first 12 from the same group is 13 years and what is the average age of other 8 girls in the group?

a) 10

b) 11

c) 11.5

d) Cannot be determined

e) None of these

1) Answer (E)

Solution:

Let the age of each of the girl in the group be x1,x2,x3,..,x20 years

Average age of 20 girls = 12

=> (x1+x2+x3+..+x20)20=12

=> (x1+x2+x3+..+x20)=12×20=240 ————(i)

Average of first 12 girls = 13

=> (x1+x2+x2+.+x12)12=13

=> (x1+x2+x3+..+x12)=13×12=156 ———–(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i)

=> (x1+x2+x3+..+x20) (x1+x2+x3+..+x12)=(240156)

=> (x13+x14+..+x20)=84

Dividing above equation by 8

=> (x13+x14++x20)8=848=10.5

=> Ans – (E)

Question 2: The total marks obtained by Jaya in the maths and Physics together are 50 more than the marks obtained by her in chemistry, if she got 20 marks in the physics .What are her marks in maths?

a) 20

b) 40

c) 80

d) Cannot Determined

e) None of these

2) Answer (D)

Solution:

Let marks obtained by Jaya in Physics, maths and chemistry respectively be p,m,c

Marks in physics, p=20

According to ques, => m+p=c+50

=> m+20=c+50

=> mc=5020=30

There is only 1 equation and 2 variables, thus we cannot determine the marks scored by her in maths or chemistry.

=> Ans – (D)

Question 3: Two chairs and three tables cost Rs 1025/- and 3 chairs and 2 tables cost is Rs 1,100/- .What is the difference between the cost one table and chair?

a) 75

b) 35

c) 125

d) Cannot be determined

e) None of these

3) Answer (A)

Solution:

Let cost price of 1 chair = Rs. x and cost price of 1 table = Rs. y

=> 2x+3y=1025 ———–(i)

and 3x+2y=1100 ——–(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from (ii)

=> (3x2x)+(2y3y)=(11001025)

=> xy=75

Difference between the cost one table and chair = Rs. 75

=> Ans – (A)

Question 4: The cost of 4 cell phones and 7 digital cameras is Rs 1,25,627.what is the cost of 8 cellphones and 14 digital cameras.

c) 225524

d) Cannot determined

e) None of these

4) Answer (A)

Solution:

Let cost of 1 cell phone = Rs.x and 1 digital camera = Rs.y

=> 4x+7y=1,25,627

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get :

=> 8x+14y=125627×2=251254

Cost of 8 cellphones and 14 digital cameras = Rs. 2,51,254

e) NONE OF THESE

8) Answer (D)

Solution:

Let the five consecutive even numbers A,B,C,D ,E = (x4),(x2),(x),(x+2),(x+4) respectively.

Average = A+B+C+D+E5=52

=> (x4)+(x2)+(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=52×5

=> 5x=52×5

=> x=52×55=52

=> B=522=50 and E=52+4=56

Product of B & E = 50×56=2800

9) Answer (D)

Solution:

Let the amount received by Pinku, Rinku and Tinku respectively = 7x,8x,6x

Total amount = 7x+8x+6x=4200

=> 21x=4200

=> x=420021=200

=> Amount with Pinku = 7*200 = 1400

Rinku = 8*200 = 1600

Tinku = 6*200 = 1200

If Rs. 200 is added to their shares, respective ratio

= (1400+200):(1600+200):(1200+200)

= 1600:1800:1400=8:9:7

b) Rs.400

c) Rs.600

d) Rs.800

e) Rs.840

13) Answer (D)

Solution:

C.P. = Rs.x

S.P. = Rs.y

Profit % = yxx×100=20

=> yxx=20100=15

=> 5y5x=x => 6x=5y

=> y=6x5 ———–(i)

If, value of X been 15% less and the value of Y been Rs. 76 less

=> x=85100×x=17x20

=> y=y76

Profit % = yxx×100=30

=> (y76)(17x20)17x20=30100=310

=> 10×[(y76)(17x20]=3×17x20

=> 10y760170x20=51x20

=> 10y221x20=760

Using, equaiton (i), we get :

=> (10×6x5)221x20=760
