Q:

The mean of 50 observations was 36. It was found later that an observation 48 was wrongly taken as 23. The corrected new mean is :

A) 35 B) 36.5
C) 40 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36.5

Explanation:

Correct Sum = (36 * 50 + 48 - 23) = 1825.

Correct mean = = 1825/50 = 36.5

Q:

The average price of 10 books is Rs. 12 while the average price of 8 of these books is Rs. 11.75. Of the remaining two books, if the price of one book is 60% more than the price of the other, what ia the pice of each of these two books ?

A) 16,12 B) 10,16
C) 23,9 D) 8,7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10,16

Explanation:

Total pice of the two books = Rs. [(12 x 10) - (11.75 x 8)]

 

                                          = Rs. (120 - 94) = Rs. 26.

 

let the price of one book be Rs. x

 

Then, the price of other book = Rs. (x + 60% of x) = Rs.(x+(3/5)x) = Rs. (8/5)x

 

So,  x+(8/5)x =26 <=> x =10

 

The prices of the two books are Rs. 10 and Rs. 16

Q:

The average price of three items of furniture is Rs. 15000. If their prices are in the ratio 3:5:7, the price of the cheapest item is :

A) 6000 B) 7000
C) 8888 D) 9000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9000

Explanation:

Let their prices be 3x,  5x and 7x.

Then, 3x + 5x + 7x = (15000 * 3) or x = 3000.

Cost of cheapest item = 3x = Rs. 9000.

Q:

Give two ways of converting a two input NAND gate to an inverter.

Answer

One way is shorting the two inputs of the NAND gate and passing the input.


truth table:


A B output


1 1 0


0 0 1


The second way is passing the input to only one input (say A) of the NAND gate. Since the other input  (say B is floating, it is always logic one.


Truth table:


A B output


1 1 0 


0 1 1

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:

The average of 11 numbers is 10.9. If the average of the first six numbers is 10.5 and that of the last six numbers is 11.4, then the middle number is :

A) 10.5 B) 11.5
C) 12.5 D) 13.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11.5

Explanation:

Middle numbers  =  [(10.5 x 6 + 11.4 x 6) - 10.9 x 11] = (131.4 - 119-9) = 11.5.
