Therefore, the new manager's salary should be Rs.300 less than that of the old manager = 720 - 300 = 420.The difference between two angles of a triangle is 24°. The average of the same two angles is 54°. Which one of the following is the value of the greatest angle of the triangle? A.45° BB. 60° C. 66° D..72° Solution: Let angles are a, b,c a-b = 24 atb = 2*54 = 108 Solve, we get a = 66 & b= 42 c= 180 -a-b = 180 - 108 = 72 The greatest angle = c = 72Astudent finds the average of 10 positive integers. Each integer contains two digits. By mistake, the boy interchanges the digits of one number say ba for ab. Due to this, the average becomes 1.8 less than the previous one. What was the difference of the two digits a and b? AS B.6 C2 D4 Solution: Let the original number be ab i.e., (10a + b). r interchanging the digits, the new number becomes ba i.e., (10b + a). e question states that the average of 10 numbers has become 1.8 less than the original average. Therefore, the sum of the original 10 numbers will be 10*1.8 more than the sum of the 10 numbers with the digits interchanged. iLe., 10a +b=10b+a+18, 9a-9b=18,a-b=2.The average age of a family of 5 members is 20 years.
