Question: 46 -

Navaneet has thrice the money Poonam has and Poonam has 25% more money than Hebah. If the average money of the three is Rs. 350, What is the amount that Navaneet has ?

Options:

  1.  Rs. 218.55

  2.  Rs. 220.75

  3.  Rs. 656.25

  4.  Rs. 175

    5. Answer:

     Rs. 656.25
    Solution:

    Assume Hebah has Rs. M
    Since 25% more money at Poonam
    => Money at Poonam = M + (25% of M)
    => Money at Poonam = M + 0.25M = Rs. 1.25M
    Money with Navaneet is thrice the money with Poonam,
    => Money at Navaneet = 3(1.25M) = Rs. 3.75M
    Now, sum of all Money = (M + 1.25M + 3.75M) = Rs. 6M
    But given the average of the money is Rs. 350
    => 6M/3 = 350
    => 2M = 350
    => M = 350/2 = Rs. 175
    => Amount of money Navaneet has = Rs. 3.75M = 3.75 x 175 = Rs. 656.25.

Question: 47 -

A certain factory employed 600 men and 400 women and the average wager was Rs. 25.50 per day, If a woman got Rs. 5 less than a man, then what are their daily wages ?

Options:

  1. m:24.50 w:26.50

  2. m:25.50 w:27.50

  3. m:26.50 w:27.50

  4. m:27.50 w:22.50

    5. Answer:

    m:27.50 w:22.50
    Solution:

    Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. x.
    Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5).
    Now, 600x + 400 (x - 5) = 25.50 * (600 + 400) <=>  1000x = 27500 <=>  x = 27.50.
    Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50; Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50.

Question: 48 -

12 boys decided to constribute Rs. 750 each to an Orphange. Suddenly few of them boys dropped out and consequently the rest had to pay Rs. 150 more. Then the number of boys who dropped out?

Options:

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 6

  4. 4

    5. Answer:

    2
    Solution:

    Total money decided to contribute = 750 x 12 = 9000
    Let 'b' boys dropped
    The rest paid 150/- more
    => (12 - b) x 900 = 9000
    => b = 2
    Hence, the number of boys who dropped out is 2.

Question: 49 -

A car owner buys petrol at Rs 7.50, Rs. 8 and Rs. 8.50 per litre for three successive years. What approximately is the average cost per litre of petrol if he spends Rs. 4000 each year ?

Options:

  1. 6.23

  2. 8.97

  3. 7.98

  4. 9.89

    5. Answer:

    7.98
    Solution:

    Total quantity of petrol consumed in 3 years =(4000/7.50+4000/8+4000/8.50)  litres                                                      = 4000(2/15+1/8+2/17) litres                                                                                                            = 76700/51 litres
    Total amount spent = Rs. (3 x 4000) = Rs. 12000.
    Average cost = Rs. (12000*51/76700) = Rs. 7.98.

Question: 50 -

The average age of students of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of boys in the class is 16.4 years and that of the girls is 15.4 years, The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in the class is :

Options:

  1. 1:2

  2. 4:5

  3. 2:3

  4. 3:4

    5. Answer:

    2:3
    Solution:

    Let the ratio be k : 1. Then,
    k * 16.4 + 1 * 15.4 = (k + 1) * 15.8
    <=> (16.4 - 15.8) k = (15.8 - 15.4)  <=> k =  0.4/0.6 = 2/3.
    Required ratio  = 2/3 : 1 = 2 : 3.
