Q:

The average number of visitors of a library in the first 4 days of a week was 58. The average for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days was 60.If the number of visitors on the 1st and 5th days were in the ratio 8 : 9. Then what is the number of visitors on the 5th day of the library ?

A) 54 B) 64
C) 68 D) 72
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 72

Explanation:

If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are k, l, m, n & o respectively, then
k + l + m + n = 58 x 4 = 232 ---- (i) &
l + m + n + o = 60 x 4 = 240 ---- (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
o-k = 8 ---(iii)
Given, k/o = 8/9 ----(iv)
So from (iii) & (iv), we get
a = 64, e = 72
Therefore, number of visitors on 5th day is 72.
