The average of Sohan's marks in 6 subjects is 74. If his average in five subjects excluding science is 70, how many marks he obtained in science?

94

92

90

88

Solutions

Total marks obtained in 6 subjects = 6 ∗ 74 = 444
Total marks in 5 subjects excluding science = 5 ∗ 70 = 350
Therefore, marks obtained in science would be = 444 - 350 = 94

Average age of a group of 30 boys is 16 years. A boy of age 19 leaves the group and a new boy joins the group. If the new average age of the group is 15.8 years, find the age of the new boy.

12 years

13 years

14 years

15 years

Solutions

Let the age of new boy = X years
Total age of 30 boys = 30*16 = 480 years
As per question, if we minus age of boy who leaves the group and then add the age of boy who joins the group the new average becomes = 15.8 years.
30 * 16 - 19 + x / 30 = 15.8
480 - 19 + X = 474
X = 474 - 480 +19
X = - 6 +19
= 13 years

The average weight of 10 men is decreased by 2 kg when one of them whose weight is 60 kg is replaced by a new man. What is the weight of the new man?

35 kg

40 kg

45 kg

50 kg

Solutions

Average decrease in weight per person = 2kg
There are 10 men so total decrease in weight on replacing a man with a new man = 10 ∗ 2= 20 kg
Weight of the man who is replaced = 60 kg
∴The weight of the new man would be = Weight of man replaced - total decrease in weight of the group of 10 men.
= 60 - 20 = 40 kg

Average age of 7 family members is 75 years. But average age of 6 of them is 74 years 6 months. What is the age of the 7th family member?

75.5

78

68

80

Solutions

74 years 6 month = 74.5 years
Total age of 6 members = 6x75.5 = 447
Total age of 7 family member = 7x75 = 525 years
Age of the 7th family member = 525 - 447 = 78 years

The average age of the committee of 10 members is 40 years. A member of age 52 retires and a new member of age 38 takes his place. What is the average age of the present committee?

38.6 years

33.5 years

35.5 years

37.5 years

Solutions

Total age of the committee = 10 ∗ 40 = 400 years
Age of retired member = 52 years
Age of new member = 38 years
As per question, we will minus 52 years and add 38 years in the total age then divide by 10 to find the new average age of the committee.
10 x 40 - 52 + 38 / 10 = 38.6

Four years ago, the average age of A and B was 20 years. If today average age of A, B and C is 25 years, what will be age of C after 7 years?

32 years

34 years

36 years

38 years

Solutions

Total age of A and B four years ago = 20 ∗ 2 = 40 years
Present total age of A and B would be = 40 + 4∗2 = 48 years
Present total age of A, B and C is = 25 ∗ 3 = 75 years
∴ Present age of C would be = 75 - 48 = 27 years
Age of C after 7 years = 27 + 7 = 34 years

Mohan gets a salary of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 months. How much salary he must have in the sixth month so that he gets an average of Rs. 6500?

4091

4991

3499

3344

Solutions

Total salary for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.
Required salary = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991

The average of runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 32. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to increase his average of runs by 4 ?

76

79

85

87

Solutions

Average = total runs / no.of innings = 32
So, total = Average x no.of innings = 32 x 10 = 320.
Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 32+4 = 36 runs
Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 36 x 11 = 396
Runs made in the 11th inning = 396 - 320 = 76

The average age of three boys is 15 years. If their age are in ratio of 3:5:7, the age of youngest boy is

21 years

18 years

15 years

9 years

Solutions

Sum of ages of three boys = 45 years
Now, (3x + 5x + 7x) = 45
⇒ 15x = 45
⇒ x = 3
So, age of youngest boy = 3x
= 3 × 3
= 9 years

70 years

66 years

68 years

Member in group × age increased = difference of replacement
Or, 8 × 1 = new comer - man going out
Or, new comer = 8 + 60
Or, new comer = 68 years.
