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.

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

Q:

If the arithmetic mean of seventy-five numbers is calculated, it is 35. if each number is increased by 5, then mean of new numbers is :

A) 30	B) 40
C) 50	D) 60

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

Let the numbers are $x_{1,} x_{2,} . . . . . . . x_{75}$

By Hypothesis , $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . x_{75}}{75} = 35$ ......(i)

Mean of new numbers = $\frac{(x_{1} + 5) + (x_{2} + 5) + . . . . . . . (x_{75} + 5)}{75}$

$\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . . . x_{75} + 5 * 75}{75}$

$\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . . . x_{75}}{75} + \frac{375}{75} = 35 + 5 = 40$ By (i)
