Q:

Consider the following frequency distribution:

x     f

8     6

5     4

6     5

10    8

9     9

4     6

7     4

What is the median for the distribution?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9

Answer:   C) 8



Explanation:
Summation of frequencies = 6+4+5+8+9+6+4 = 42
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get

x     f

4     6

5     4

6     5

7     4

8     6

9     9

10    8

 
So mid value i.e 21st and 22nd value = 8

The average of the two-digit numbers, which remain the same when the dibits inter-change their positions, is :

A) 53 B) 54
C) 55 D) 56
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 55

Average = (11 + 22 + 33 + 44 + 55 + 66 + 77 + 88 + 99) / 9

             =( (11 + 99) + (22 + 88) + (33 + 77) + (44 + 66) + 55) / 9

             = (4 * 110 + 55)/9 =  495 / 9 = 55.

Q:

10 years ago, the average age of a family of 4 members was 24 years. Two children having been born (with age diference of 2 years), the present average age of the family is the same. The present age of the youngest child is :

A) 1 B) 2
C) 3 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

Total age of 4 members, 10 years ago = (24 x 4) years = 96 years.

 

Total age of 4 members now = [96 + (10 x 4)] years = 136 years.

 

Total age of 6 members now = (24 x 6) years = 144 years.

 

Sum of the ages of 2 children = (144 - 136) years = 8 years.

 

Let the age of the younger child be x years.

 

Then, age of the elder child = (x+2) years.

 

So, x+(x+2) =8 <=> x=3

 

Age of younger child  =  3 years.

A) 35 B) 36

Q:

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 ?

A) 6.23 B) 7.98
C) 8.97 D) 9.89
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.98

Explanation:

Total quantity of petrol consumed in 3 years =(4000/7.50+4000/8+4000/8.50)  liters

 

                                                         = 4000(2/15+1/8+2/17) liters                                                   

 

                                                         = 76700/51 liters

 

Total amount spent = Rs. (3 x 4000) = Rs. 12000.

 

Average cost = Rs. (12000*51/76700) = Rs. 7.98.
