[Link] Ashish’s opinion, his weight is greater than 55 kg but less than
62 kg. His father does not agree with Ashish and he thinks that
Ashish’s weight is greater than 50 kg but less than 60 kg. His sister’s
view is that his weight can't be greater than 58 kg. If all of them are
correct in their estimation, what is the average of different
probable weights of Ashish ?

A. 56.5 kg
B. 68 kg
C. 69 kg
D.66KG
Ans. A

Let Ashish weight X kg.

According to Ashish , 55 < X < 62

According to Ashish's father, 50 < X < 60

According to Ashish's sister, X < 58

The values satisfying all the above conditions are 56 & 57.

56 + 57 113
Therefore, Required average = ( ) = ( )

So, the Ashish's weight is 56.5 kg.

[Link] average weight of five friends P, Q, R, S, and T is (x + 6) kg
while the average weight of R and T is (x – 6) kg. If the weight of
another person U is also added, then average weight of all of. Find
the value of ‘x’ if average weight of P, Q, S and U is 94.5 kg.

A. 74
B. 80
C. 84
D. 90
E. 94

Ans. D

Total weight of friends P, Q, R, S and T = (x + 6) x 5 = 5 (x + 6) kg

So, total weight of P, Q and S = 5 (x + 6) – 2 (x – 6) = (3x + 42) = 3 (x +

14)

Weight of U = (x + 6 – 5) × 6 – 5 (x + 6) = 6 (x + 1) – 5 (x + 6) = (x – 24)
kg
According to the question,

[3 (x + 14) + (x – 24) ] = 94.5 × 4

4x + 18 = 378

4x = 360; x = 90

Hence, option D is [Link] is reduced by 5 kg

03. In a class with a certain number of students if one new student
weighing 50 kg is added, then average weight of class is increased
by 1 kg. If one more student weighing 50 kg is added, then the
average weight of the class increases by 1.5 kg over the original
average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class?

A. 46
B. 42
C. 27
D. 47
E. None of these

Ans. D

Let x be the number of students in the class and y be the average

weight of the class

Now according to question,

xy + 50 = y + 1
x+1

x + y = 49 .......... (i) Again,

xy + 50 + 50
= y + 1.5
x+2

1.5x + 2y = 97 .......... (ii) From equation (i) and (ii), we get y = 47

Hence, option (D) is correct.

10. The average age of P, Q, R, S five years ago was 45 years. By
including T, the present average age of all the five is 49 years. The
present age of T is?
A)64 years
B)48 years
C)45 years
D)40 years
Explanation:
Present age of P, Q, R, S = ( 45 x 4 ) + 20 = 200
Present age of P, Q, R, S and T = 49 x 5 = 245
Hence, the age of T = 245 - 200 = 45 years.
11. The average age of P, Q, R, S five years ago was 45 years. By
including T, the present average age of all the five is 49 years. The
present age of T is?
A)64 years
B)48 years
C)45 years
D)40 years
ExplanatioN:
Present age of P, Q, R, S = ( 45 x 4 ) + 20 = 200
Present age of P, Q, R, S and T = 49 x 5 = 245
Hence, the age of T = 245 - 200 = 45 years.

12. The average salary of all the employees in a small organization

is Rs 8,000. The average salary of 7 technicians is Rs 12,000 and the
average salary of the rest is Rs 6,000. The total number of
employees in the organisation is ?
A)21
B)20
C)26
D)22
Explanation
Let total number of employees be k
Then,
8000 x k = 7 x 12000 + (k - 7) x 6000
k = 21
Thus, the total number of employees in the organization is 21
13. Without any stoppage, a person travels a certain distance at an
average speed of 42 km/h, and with stoppages he covers the same
distance at an average speed of 28 km/h. How many minutes per
hour does he stop?
A)14 minutes
B)15 minutes
C)28 minutes
D)None of these
Explanation
Let the total distance to be covered is 84 kms.
Time taken to cover the distance without stoppage = 84 / 42 hrs = 2
hrs
Time taken to cover the distance with stoppage = 84 / 28 = 3 hrs.
Thus, he takes 60 minutes to cover the same distance with
stoppage.
Therefore, in 1 hour he stops for 20 minutes.
14. he average marks of Suresh in 10 papers are 80. If the highest
and the lowest scores are not considered, the average is 81. If his
highest score is 92, find the lowest score.
A)55
B)60
C)62
D)Cannot be determined
Explanation
Total marks of 10 papers = 80 x 10 = 800
Total marks of 8 papers = 81 x 8 = 648
Total marks of two papers = (800 - 648) = 152
If highest total is 92, then the lowest total is = 152 - 92 = 60
15. Three maths classes: X, Y and Z take an algebra test. The
average score of class X is 83. The average score of class Y is 76. The
average score of class Z is 85. The average score of class X and Y is
79 and average score of class Y and Z is 81. What is the average
score of classes X, Y, Z ?
A)81.5
B)80.5
C)83
D)78
Explanation
Let the number of students in classes X, Y and Z be A, B and C
respectively.
Then, total score of X= 83A, total score of Y = 76B, total score of Z =
85C.
Also given that,
(83A + 76B) / (A + B) = 79
=> 4A = 3B.
(76B + 85C) / (B + C) = 81
=> 4C = 5B,
=>B = 4A/3 and C = 5A/3
Therefore, average score of X, Y, Z = ( 83A + 76B + 85C ) / (A + B + C)
= 978 / 12 = 81.5
16. The average of 17 numbers is 10.9. If the average of first nine
numbers is 10.5 and that of the last nine numbers is 11.4, the
middle number is
A)11.8
B)11.4
C)10.9
D)11.7
Explanation
Sum of first nine numbers (N1 to N9) + Sum of last nine numbers
(N9 to N17) = ( 10.5 x 9 ) + ( 11.4 x 9 ) = 21.9 x 9 = 197.1
Hence, the middle number
= 197.1 - ( 17 x 10.9 ) = 197.1 - 185.3 = 11.8
17. Kohli has a certain average of runs for 12 innings. In the
13th innings he scores 96 runs thereby increasing his
average by 5 runs. What is his average after the 13th innings?
A)48

B)64

C)36

72

Explanation
To improve his average by 5 runs per innings he has to
contribute 12 x 5 = 60 runs for the previous 12 innings.
Thus, the average after the 13th innings
= 96 - 60 = 36.
18. A batsman in his 17th innings makes a score of 85, and
thereby increases his average by 3. What is his average after
the 17th innings? He had never been ’not out’.
A)47

B)37

C)39

D)43

Explanation
Average score before 17th innings
= 85 - ( 3 × 17 ) = 34
Average score after 17th innings
=> 34 + 3 = 37
19. The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio between first
and second be 2 : 3 and that between second and third be 5 :
8, then the second number is?
A)30

B)20

C)58

D)48

Explanation
Let the numbers be X, Y and Z. Then,
X + Y + Z = 98
X/Y=2/3
Y/Z=5/8
Therefore, X = 2Y/3 and Z = 8Y/5.
So,
2Y/3 + Y + 8Y/5 = 98.
49Y / 15 = 98
Y = 30
20. The average weight of 8 sailors in a boat is increased by 1
kg if one of them weighing 56 kg is replaced by a new sailor.
The weight of the new sailor is?
A)57 kg

B)60 kg

C)64 kg

D)62 kg

Explanation
Assume the average weight of 8 sailors = x
Average = Total / Number
Sum total = x * 8

Now, one weighing 56 kg is replaced by another. Let the

weight of new comer be 'y' kg
Sum total = ( 8 * x ) - 56 + y
Given the average increases by '1', that is 'x+1'
x+1 = (8 * x - 56 + y ) / 8 ...[Avg = sum total/number]
8 * (x+1) = 8x - 56 + y
8x + 8 = 8x - 56 + y
y = 64
Hence, weight of the new sailor = 64 Kg.
alternatively:
Age of new comer = Replaced weight + (change in avg) *
Number of people
 = 56 + (x - 1- x) * 8 = 64 kg
21. A number X equals 80% of the average of 5, 7, 14 and a
number Y. If the average of X and Y is 26, the value of Y is?
A)13

B)26

C)39

D)None of these

Explanation
Average of 5, 7, 14 and Y = ( 5 + 7 + 14 + Y ) / 4
Therefore, X = 80% of ( 5 + 7 + 14 + y )/ 4
X = (80 / 100) x (26 + Y) / 4
=> X = (26 + Y) / 5
5X - Y = 26 ----- (i)

Also,
(X + Y) / 2 = 26
X + Y = 54 ----- (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

Y = 39
22. The average monthly expenditure of a family for the first
four months is Rs 2,750, for the next three months is Rs 2,940
and for the last five months Rs 3,130. If the family saves Rs
5,330 during the whole year, find the average monthly
income of the family during the year.
A)Rs 3,800

B)Rs 3,500

C)Rs 3,400
D)Rs 4,200

Explanation
Average monthly expenditure of 4 months
= Rs 2,700
Total expenditure for 4 months = Rs 2,700 x 4
= Rs 11,000
Average monthly expenditure of 3 months
= Rs 2,940
Total expenditure of 3 months = Rs 2,940 x 5
= Rs 8,820
Average monthly expenditure of 5 months
= Rs 3,130
Total expenditure of 5 months = Rs 31,020
= Rs 1,560
Total expenditure in the whole year
= Rs 11,000 + 8,820 - Rs 15,650 = Rs 35,470.
Saving during the whole year = Rs 5,330.
Total income of the family during the year= Rs 35,470 + Rs
5,330 = Rs 40,800.
Therefore, Average monthly income during the year
40800/12 = Rs 3,400.
23. The average age of 8 men is increased by 2 years. When
two of them, whose ages are 20 years and 24 years
respectively are replaced by two women. What is the average
age of these women?
A)36 years

B)30 years

C)40 years

D)42 years
Explanation
Let the average age of 8 men be X years
Thus, Sum of the ages of 8 men = 8X years
Now, according to the condition of the question, average age
of (6 men + 2 women) = (x + 2) years
Thus, Sum of the ages of (6 men + 2 women)
= 8(X + 2) = 8X x 16 years
Hence, it is clear that on replacing two men by two women,
sum of their ages increased by 16 years.
Therefore, sum of the ages of two women
= (20 + 24) + 16 = 60 years
Thus, average age of the women = 60 / 2 = 30 years
24. The average of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers 45 and
55 are discarded, the average of the remaining set of
numbers is
A)38.5

B)37.5

C)37.0 .

D)36.5

Explanation
Average of 50 numbers is 38 .
Total = 50 x 38 = 1900
45 and 55 are discarded i.e 1900 - 45 - 55 = 1800
Average = 1800 / 48 = 37.5
25. The average speed of a train running at a speed of 30
km/hr during the first 100 kilometres, at 40 km/hr during
the second 100 kilometres and at 50 km/hr during the last
100 kilometres is nearly ?
A)38.5 km/hr
B)38.3 km/hr

C)40.0 km/hr

D)39.2 km/hr

Explanation
Time taken to cover first 100 kilometres = 100 / 3 = 3 (1/3)
hours
Time taken to cover second 100 kilometres = 100/40 = 2
(1/2) hours
Time take to cover last 100 kilometres = 100/2 = 2 hours
Total distance covered = 300 km.
Total time taken = 47 / 6 = 7.83 hours
Thus, average speed = 300 / 7.83 = 38.3 km/hr.
26. The average of 6 observations is 12. A new observation is
included and the new average is decreased by 1. The seventh
observation is?
A)1

B)3

C)5

D)6

Explanation
Let seventh observation = X.
Then, according to the question we have
=> (72 + X) / 7 = 11
=> X = 5.
Hence, the seventh observation is 5.
27. The average age of 20 men in the class is 15.6 years. Five
new men join and the new average becomes 15.56 years.
What was the average age of five new men?
A)15.5

B)15.4

C)15.25

D)15.3

Explanation
Total age of 20 men = 15.6 x 20 = 312
Now, total age of 25 men = 15.56 * 25 = 389.
Total age of five men added later = 389 - 312 = 77.
Hence, the total average of five men = 77 / 5 = 15.4
28. The average weight of 3 men A, B and C is 84 kg. Another
man D joins the group and the average now becomes 80 kg. If
another man E, whose weight is 3 kg more than that of D,
replaces A, then average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 79
kg. The weight of A is?
A)70 kg

B)72 kg

C)75 kg

D)80 kg

Explanation

Weight of D = (80 x 4 - 84 x 3) kg = 68 kg
Weight of E = (68 + 3) kg = 71 kg
(B + C + D + E)’s weight = (79 x 4) kg = 316 kg
Therefore, (B + C)’s weight = [316 - (68 + 71)] kg = 177 kg.
Hence, A’s weight = [(84 x 3) - 177] kg = 75 kg.

29. There was one mess for 30 boarders in a certain hostel.

The number of boarders being increased by 10, the expenses
of the mess were increased by Rs 40 per month while the
average expenditure per head diminished by Rs 2. Find the
original monthly expenses.
A)Rs 390

B)Rs 410

C)Rs 360

D)Cannot be determinede

Explanation

Let X rupees be the average of 30 boarders

30X + 40 = (X - 2) x 40
X = 12
Hence, original expenditure
= Rs 12 x 30 = Rs 360.
30. The average weight of 36 men is 50 kg. It was found later
that the figure of 37 kg was misread as 73 kg. What is the
correct average?
A)49 kg

B)51 kg

C)50.5 kg

D)None of these

Explanation
Correct average = [( 50 x 36) - 73 + 37 )] / 36 = 1764 / 36 = 49
kg. [ Subtract the wrong figure and add the correct figure ]

31. The average earning of a person for the first four days of a
week is Rs 18 and for the last four days is Rs 22. If he earns
Rs 20 on the fourth day, his average earning for the whole
week is?
A)Rs 18.95

B)Rs 16

C)Rs 20

D)Rs 25.71

Explanation
Total earning for the week
= Rs ( 4 × 18 ) + ( 4 × 22 ) - 20 = Rs 140
Average earning = Rs 140 / 7 = Rs 20.

32. The average of marks obtained by 120 boys was 35. If the
average of marks of passed boys was 39 and that of failed
boys was 15, the number of boys who passed the examination
is ?
A)100

B)110

C)120

D)150

Explanation
Let the number of boys who passed = X.
Then, 39X + 15(120 - X) = 120 x 35
24X = 4200 - 1800
=> X = 2400 / 24
X = 100.
Hence, the number of boys passed = 100.
33. In a class, there are 20 boys whose average age is
decreased by 2 months, when one boy aged 18 years replaced
by a new boy. The age of the new boy is ?
A)14 years 8 months

B)15 years

C)16 years 4 months

D)17 years 10 months

Explanation
Total decrease = (20 x 2) months = 40 months
= 3 years 4 months
Age of the new boy
= 18 years - 3 years 4 months.
= 14 years 8 months.

34. The average temperature from Tuesday to Friday is 48°C

and from Wednesday to Saturday is 52°C. If the temperature
on Tuesday is 42°C, what was it on Saturday?
A)52°C

B)55°C

C)58°C

D)51°C

Explanation
Temperature on : Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday + Friday
= 4 x 48°C = 192°C
Temperature on : Tuesday = 42°C
Thus,
Wednesday + Thursday + Friday = (192°C - 42°C) = 150°C
Temperature on : Wednesday + Thursday + Friday +
Saturday = 4 × 52°C = 208°C
Thus, Saturday’s temperature = 208 - 150°C = 58°C

35. A man spends on an average Rs 269.47 for the first 7

months and Rs 281.05 for the next 5 months. Find his
monthly salary if he saves Rs 308.46 during the whole year.
A)Rs 300

B)Rs 500

C)Rs 840

D)Rs 400

Explanation
Total spending in 12 months = Rs [ ( 269.47 x 7 ) + ( 281.05 ×
5 ) ] = Rs 3,291.54
Total income = Spending + Saving
=> Rs 3,291.54 + Rs 308.46
=> Rs 3,600.00
Monthly salary = Rs 3600 / 12 = Rs 300

36. Average temperature of first 4 days of a week is 38.6°C

and that of the last 4 days is 40.3°C. If the average
temperature of the week be 39.1°C, the temperature on 4th
day is?
A036.7°C
B)38.6°C

C)39.8°C

d)41.9°C

Explanation
Let temperature on 4th day be X°C
Therefore, (4 x 38.6) + (4 x 40.3) - X = 7 x 39.1
=> X = 41.9
Therefore, temperature on 4th day = 41.9°C.

37. The average daily wages of A, B and C is Rs 120. If B earns

Rs 40 more than C per day and A earns double of what C
earns per day, the wage of A per day is?
A)Rs 80

B)Rs 120

C)Rs 160

D)Rs 100

Explanation
Total wages of A + B + C = ₹ 360
Let C's wages be X , A's is 2X and B's is (X + 40)
2X + (X+40) + X = 360
4X = 320
X= 80
A's wages = 80 x 2 = 160

38. With an average speed of 40 km/hr a car reaches its

destination on time. If it goes with an average speed of 35
km/h, it is late by 15 minutes. The total journey is?
A)30 km

B)40 km

C)70 km

D)80 km

Explanation
Let the total journey be X km.
(X / 35) - (X / 40) = (15 / 60)
Solving for X, we get X = 70
Therefore, total journey = 70 km.

39. Out of three numbers, the first is twice the second and is
half of the third. If the average of the three numbers is 56, the
three numbers in order are ?
A)48 , 96 , 24

B)48 , 24 , 96

C)96 , 24 , 48

D)96 , 48 , 24

Explanation
Let the numbers be 2X, X and 4X
Average = (2X + X + 4X) / 3
=> 7X / 3 = 56
=> X = (3 x 56) / 7 = 24
Hence, the numbers in order are 48, 24 and 96
