There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels.

Q:

In a cricket match, five batsmen P, Q, R, S and T scored an average of 36 runs. S Scored 5 more than T; T scored 8 fewer than P; Q scored as many as S and T combined; and Q and R scored 107 between them. How many runs did T score ?

A) 20 B) 29
C) 28 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Let the runs scored by P, Q, R, S and T be  a, b, c, d and e

From given data,

a + b + c + d + e = 36 x 5 = 180
b + c = 107
Let a = x
e = x-8
d = x-3
now 3x - 11 + 107 = 180
3x = 84
x = 28
e's score = 28-8 = 20
