Q:

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?

A) 62 degrees B) 64 degrees
C) 65 degrees D) 66 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 degrees

Explanation:

Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)

Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees  ....(2)

Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :

Temp, on 5th day  - Temp on 1st day  = 8 degrees.

Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.

Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.

Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.

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
C) 37.5 D) 38.2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 37.5

Explanation:

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.
