The average marks scored by Amit, Bimal and Candy in an examination is 84. If marks of Dorothy are now added, the average marks of the 4 students becomes 80. Ellora's score is 3 more than Dorothy. If Ellora's marks replace Amit's marks, than the average marks scored by Bimal, Candy, Dorothy and Ellora is 79. What is the score of Amit?
Solution
Let scores of each candidate respectively be $$a,b,c,d,e,f$$
Average marks scored by Amit, Bimal and Candy = 84
=> $$a+b+c=84\times3=252$$ -----------------(i)
Also, after adding Dorothy marks, average marks of the 4 students = 80
=> $$a+b+c+d=80\times4=320$$ -----------(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get : $$d=320-252=68$$
Average marks scored by Bimal, Candy, Dorothy and Ellora = 79
=> $$b+c+d+e=79\times4=316$$ -----------(iii)
Also, $$e=d+3=68+3=71$$
Substituting value of $$d$$ and $$e$$ in equation (iii), => $$b+c=316-68-71=177$$ ------------(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (i), we get : $$a=252-177=75$$
=> Ans - (B)
ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC. The vertex angle A measures eight times the measure of a base angle. AD is the angle bisector of vertex angle A. What is the measure of the angle BAD?
Solution
Given : ABC is an isosceles triangle, with AB=AC, let $$\angle$$ ABC $$=\angle$$ ACB = $$x$$
=> $$\angle$$ BAC = $$8x$$
Also, AD is angle bisector, => $$\angle$$ BAD $$=\angle$$ CAD = $$4x$$
The angle bisector of an isosceles triangle is perpendicular bisector to the base.
=> $$\angle$$ BDA $$=\angle$$ CDA = $$90^\circ$$
Thus, in right triangle ABD, => $$\angle$$ ABD + $$\angle$$ ADB + $$\angle$$ BAD = $$180^\circ$$
=> $$x+4x=180-90=90^\circ$$
=> $$x=\frac{90}{5}=18^\circ$$
$$\therefore$$ $$\angle$$ BAD = $$4\times18=72^\circ$$
=> Ans - (C)
Atmaram distributed his property worth ₹ 78,00,000 among his three sons Ramdayal, Shyam and Krishna, such that the share of Ramdayal is $$(\frac{3}{4})^{th}$$ the share of Shyam and share of Shyam is $$(\frac{2}{3})^{rd}$$ of the share of Krishna. What is the difference between the amount received by Shyam and Krishna?
Solution
Total amount = 7800000
Share of Ramdayal = 3/4 $$\times$$ Share of Shyam
Ratio of Share of Ramdayal to Shyam = 3 : 4
Share of Shyam = 2/3 $$\times$$ share of Krishna
Ratio of share of Shyam to Krishna = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6
Ratio of share of Ramdayal, Shayam and Krishna = 3 : 4 : 6
Share of Shyam = 7800000 $$\times$$ 4/13 = 2400000
Share of Krishna = 7800000 $$\times$$ 6/13 =3600000
The difference between the amount received by Shyam and Krishna = 3600000 - 2400000 = 1200000

Nutrition for injured athletes
Poor nutrition can lead to conditions that increase the risk of injury. But injuries are often an unavoidable aspect when participating in any physical activity. An injury can be particularly distressing for the eating-disordered athlete. Psychological support is important. No change in diet is necessary when a quick recovery is expected.
There is a need in modification of food intake when an injury limits activity for less than a week. The need to reduce food intake is necessary to meet lower energy needs, if recovery is expected to take longer than a week. Long-term recovery may require an absolute reduced diet.
Surgical trauma, fever, or infection requires dietary changes. In these cases, protein intake should be increased during the early stages of recovery, because proteins repair damaged tissues.
Protein is important for immune function. If a slow recovery is expected, the injury might cause significant emotional stress. Fear, anxiety, and anger are all typical reactions to injury. These emotions can increase the secretion of epinephrine (adrenaline) from the adrenal gland. This in turn can cause a series of metabolic changes that result in increased loss of nitrogen (protein) through the urine.
In general, the importance of psychological support for injured athletes varies depending on length of recovery and injury severity. Anxiety about the injury might lead to increased food cravings, more free time and less structure in the daily routine can lead to boredom and increases opportunities to eat more and it may result in weight gain. Some injured athletes simply do not adjust their energy needs and continue to follow their typical training diet.
Nutritional need while travelling:
Maintaining good nutritional practices while travelling to and from events may affect an athlete's health and athletic success.
A slightly lower carbohydrate and higher protein intake for strength athletes (40-48% carbohydrate, 20-26% protein, and 34% fat),stress the importance of eating natural and whole foods.
Sports nutrition experts recommend that athletes should have multiple small meals per day (five or six feedings). Travelling with snacks helps to ensure that caloric needs are being met, despite unpredictable travel delays. Fresh vegetables and fruits, fruit smoothies, energy bars, nuts, bagels, and raisins are suggested to carry while travelling.
Which of the following leads to higher risk of injury?
Solution
As mentioned in the first paragraph, poor nutrition leads to the conditions that increase the risk of injury.
The answer is option D.
Which factor influences the need for a change in diet in the recovery process the most?
Solution
In the first paragraph it is mentioned that no change in diet is necessary when a quick recovery is expected. Therefore, time required for recovery influences the need for a change in diet in the recovery process the most.
Option A is not presented as a factor that influences the changes, and options B and D are secondary that provide some context for the recovery and how to complete the diet altogether, and do not affect the diet itself.
The answer is option C.
