Three maths classes: A, B and C take an algebra test. The average score of class A is 83. The average score of class B is 76. The average score of class C is 85. The average score of class A and B is 79 and average score of class B and C is 81. What is the average score of classes A, B, C ?
Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively. Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R. Also given that, (83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79 =>4P = 3Q. (76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81 =>4R = 5Q, =>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3 Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5
Sony is one-fifth the age of her mother 15 years ago and Sony’s brother is three-fifth the age of his mother 10 years ago. If the sum of Sony and her brother’s ages is 31 then how old is Sony's mother ?
Sony and her brother's age sum is 31 Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'. Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is 1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31 x-15 + 3x-30 = 155 4x-45 = 155 4x = 200 x = 50 So, Mother's age = 50.
Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 7 10 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24
