Q:

The average score of boys in an examination in a school is 81 and that of the girls is 83 and the average score of the school is 81.8. Then what will be ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys, in the examination?

A) 3:2 B) 2:3
C) 4:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3

Explanation:

Let the number of boys = b

Let the number of girls = g

From the given data,

 

81b + 83g = 81.8(b + g)

81.8b - 81b = 83g - 81.8g

0.8b = 1.2g

b/g = 1.2/0.8 = 12/8 = 3/2

=> g : b = 2 : 3

 

Hence, ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys = 2 : 3.

Q:

A flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m. What will be the height of a building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions ?  

A) 14 cm B) 13.5 cm
C) 12.5 cm D) 11.4 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12.5 cm

Explanation:

Let the required height of the building be x meter

More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)

Hence we can write as

(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm
