Q:

Consider the following frequency distribution:

x     f

8     6

5     4

6     5

10    8

9     9

4     6

7     4

What is the median for the distribution?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:
Summation of frequencies = 6+4+5+8+9+6+4 = 42
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get

x     f

4     6

5     4

6     5

7     4

8     6

9     9

10    8

 
So mid value i.e 21st and 22nd value = 8

Q:

A does half as much work as Band C does half as much work as A and B together. If C alone can finish the work in 40 days, then together ,all will finish the work in  ?

A) 17 + 4/7 days B) 13 + 1/3 days
C) 15 + 3/2 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days

Explanation:

C alone can finish the work in 40 days.
As given C does half as much work as A and B together
=> (A + B) can do it in 20 days
(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.
A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)
A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]
B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30
(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40

All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.

Q:

The difference of two numbers is 14. Their LCM and HCF are 441 and 7. Find the two numbers ?

A) 63 and 49 B) 64 and 48
C) 62 and 46 D) 64 and 49
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 63 and 49

Explanation:

Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y

Difference = 14
=> 7x - 7y = 14
=> x - y = 2

product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm
=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7
=> x * y = 63

Now, we have
x * y = 63 , x - y = 2
=> x = 9 , y = 7

The numbers are 7x and 7y
=> 63 and 49
