A) 1 : 2	B) 2 : 3
C) 3 : 4	D) 4 : 5

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 : 3

Explanation:

Let the ratio be k : 1. Then,

k * 16.4 + 1 * 15.4 = (k + 1) * 15.8

<=> (16.4 - 15.8) k = (15.8 - 15.4) <=> k = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3.

Required ratio = 2/3 : 1 = 2 : 3.

A grocer has a sale of Rs 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs, 6500 ?

A) 4991	B) 5467
C) 5987	D) 6453

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

Required sale = Rs.[(6500 x 6) - 34009]

= Rs. 4991.

Q:

The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 26 years old and the wicket keeper is 3 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team ?

A) 20 years	B) 21 years
C) 23 years	D) 25 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 23 years

Explanation:

Let the average age of the whole team be x years.

11x - (26 + 29) = 9 (x - 1)

=> 11x - 9x = 46

=> 2x = 46

=> x = 23.

So, average age of the team is 23 years.
