Q:

A farmer divides his herd of k cows among his 4 sons, so that one son gets one half of the herd, the second gets one-fourth, the third gets one-fifth and the fourth gets 9 cows. Then k is equal to ?

A) 160 B) 120
C) 140 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 180

Explanation:

Given total number of cows = k
Now, 1st son share = k/2
2nd son share = k/4
3rd son share = k/5
4th son share = 9

(k) + (k/4) + (k/5) + 9 = k
=> k - (19k/20) = 9
=> (20k-19k)/20 = 9
=> k = 180.

Q:

The average of 26,29,n,35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35. If n is always an integer and greater than the average  of the given integers then the value of n is :

A) 33 B) 34
C) 33 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33
Explanation:

Average of 26,29,35 and 43 is 33.25 . Also the average of 26 , 29, n, 35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35 i.e,

 25<26+29+n+35+435<35 

=> 125 < 26+29+n+35+43 < 175 

=> 125 < 133 + n < 175

=> n < 42

 Since the value of n is an integer and greater than 33.25 then 33 < n < 42 for every integer n.
