Q:

A student was asked to find the arithmetic mean of the numbers 3, 11, 7, 9, 15, 13, 8, 19, 17, 21, 14 and x. He found the mean to be 12. What should be the number in place of x ?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7

Explanation:

Clearly, we have (3 + 11 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 13 + 8 + 19 + 17 + 21 + 14 + x) / 12 = 12.

or  137 + x = 144 or x = 144 - 137 = 7.

Q:

How many terms are in the G.P. 3, 6, 12, 24, ......., 384 ?

A) 8 B) 9
C) 10 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8

Explanation:

Here a = 3 and r = 6/3 = 2. Let the number of terms be n.
Then, t = 384 => a * r^(n-1) = 384
=> 3 * 2^(n-1) = 384 => 2^(n-1) = 128 = 2^(7)

=> n-1 = 7 => n = 8.

Q:

The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre is Rs.10.080.How much will it cost to lay a three meter wide pavement along the fencing inside the field @ Rs. 50 per sq m

A) 53800 B) 43800
C) 83800 D) 73800
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 73800

Explanation:

perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
