A company makes an advertisement of shares to


collect a capital of Rs. 25 lacs. If the printed price of
one share is Rs. 100, then find the number of shares
circulated by the company.

a Status: Right

20000

I 25000

30000

15000

Solution
Given:

The total price of shares = Rs. 2500000

Price of one share = Rs. 100

concept used:

Number of shares= Total price of shares/Price of


one share

calculation:

The total price of shares = Rs. 2500000

Price of one share = Rs. 100

Number of shares= Total price of shares/Price of


one share

,.. Number of shares = 2500000/100 = Rs. 25000

:. The number of shares circulated by the


company is 25000.

observation)

concept used:

If we add or subtract anything in the given data, it


will happen in the average also.

solution:

Consider following statement:

A. The average of all prime numbers between 30


and 50 is 37.8.

B. 16% of X is 40. The value of X is 240.

C. The unit"s digit in the product (255 • 27 x 1B2 •


39) is zero.

Which of the above statements is/ are true?

;;; Status: Wrong

I Aandconly 0
Band c only

Conly 0
A and B only

Solution
Formula Used:

Average = Sum of all observations/Number of


observations

concept Used:

Prime Numbers: Numbers have only 2 factors 1and


the number itself is called a prime number.

calculation:

Option:1

Prime numbers between 30 and 50 are 31, 37,41, 43,


47

sum of observation= 31+ 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 = 199

Number of observation = 5

~ Average= 199/5 = 39.8

:. Incorrect option.

Option: 2

16% of 240 = 38.4

.. 38.4 =40

or, 16/100 • x = 40

Then, x = 250 ~ 240

:. Incorrect option.

Option: 3

255 X 27 X 182 X 39

255 X 182

.. The unit's digit in the product is zero.

0 X 27

.. The unit's digit in the product is zero.

0 X 39

.. The unit's digit in the product is zero.

.. The unit's digit in the product (255 • 27 x 182 x


39) is zero.

:. Correct option

The correct option is 3 i.e. c only

Given below are two statements

Statement I: A culture of bacteria quadruples every


hour. If a bottle with these bacteria was half-full at
7 am, then at 6 am on the same day, the bottle
was one-eighth full.

Statement II: The average of the first 31 natural


numbers is 16.5.

In light of the above statements, choose the


correct answer from the options given below

a Status: Right

Both statement I and Statement II are false

Both statement I and statement II are true

statement I is false but Statement II is true

Statement I is true but Statement II is false 0

Solution
Given:

There are two statements given in the following


question.

Formula used:
11
sum of 'n' natural numbers = <•~+1)

calculation:

A culture of bacteria qua:druples every hour.


[ Quadruple means four times]

The bottle with these bacteria was half-full at 7


am.

The quantity of bacteria at 6 am on the same day


= (1/2)/4 of the bottle= 1/8 of the bottle

T hen at 6 am on the same day, the bottle was


one-eighth full. Hence, the statement I is true.
31 3 1
The sum of first 31 natural numbers= --( 2
1+ -) -
(31 >< 32)/2 = 496

The average of the first 31 natural numbers =


496/31 = 16

Hence, the statement II is false.

Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is


false.

The average weight of A, B, Cis 40 kg, the average


weight of B, D, Eis 42 kg and the weight of fls equal
to that of B. What is the average weight of A, B, c, D,
Eand F?

iii Status: Wrong

40·5 kg

40·8 kg

41 kg o]
cannot be determined as data is
inadequate 0

Solution
Given:

Average weight of A, B, Cis 40 kg.

The average weight of B, D, Els 42 kg.

The weight of Fls equal to that of B.

Calculation:

(A+ B + C)/3 = 40

A+ B + C = 120 -------(1.)

(B + D + E)/3 = 42

B + D + E = 126 --------(2.)
As B = F, so we can write F in place of B in equation
(2.)
We get, F + D + E = 126 -------(3.)

Adding equation (1.) and (3.), we get

A + B + C + D + E + F = 120 + 126

A + B + C + D + E + F = 246

Avereage weight of A, B, c, D, E and F = 246 / 6 = 41

Hence, option 3 is correct.

The average score of a batsman after his 50 th


innings was 46.4. After 60 th innings, his average
score increases by 2.6. What was his average score
in the last ten innings?

ii Status: Unattempted

122

91

62

49

Solution
Given:

The average score of a batsman after his 50th


innings was 46.4

Formula used:

Average= sum of all number/Total number of


values

Calculation:

Let the runs after 50th innings be x

And the runs after 60th innings bey

... x/50 = 46.4

=> X = 2320 ----(1)

And Y the runs after 60th innings,

... y/60 = (46.4 + 2.6)

... y = 2940 ----(2)

subtract form equation(2) to equation(l);

=> X - y = 2940 - 2320

=> X -y = 620

620 is the runs scored by batsman in last 10


innings,

Average score= 620/10

... 62

:. The average score in the last ten innings is 62.

In a class, there are three groups A, B and c. If one


student from group A and two students from group
B are shifted to group c, then what happens to the
average weight of the students of the class?

a Status: Right

It increases.

It decreases

It remains the same

No conclusion can be drawn due to



insufficient data

Solution
Given:

In a class there are three groups A, B and c.

one student from group A and two students from


group B are shifted to group c

Formula used:

Average weight= total weight/Total student

Calculation:

According to the question:

No student going out of the class and No


new student coming in the class

Total student weight same all the time and total


no. of the same .

They are just interchange the group.

:. The average weight of the students of the class


the same.

The average age of a teacher and three students is


20 years. If all the three students are of same age
and the difference between the age of the teacher
and each student is 20 years, then what is the age
of the teacher?

u Status: Right

25 years

30 years

35 years

45 years

Solution
Given:

The average age of a teacher and three students


is 20 years.

Formula used:

Average = Total sum of all numbers/Number of


values

calculation:

Let the age of teachers be y.

And the age of Student be x.

Difference y = (x + 20)
According to the question:

Average age= (x + x + x + y)/4 = 20 years

.. (3x + y) = 20 x 4

.. 3x + y = 80

,.. 3X + X + 20 = 80

... 4x = 60

=> X = 15

... y = (x + 20)

=> y = 15 + 20 = 35

:. The age of the teacher is 35 years.

A family has two children along with their parents.


The average of the weights of the children and
their mother is 50 kg. The average of the weights of
the children and their father is 52 kg. If the weight
of the father is 60 kg, then what is the weight of the
mother?

a Status: Unattempted

48 kg

50 kg

52kg

54kg 0

Solution
Given:

The average weight of their children and mother is


50 kg

The average weight of their children and father is


52 kg

Calculation:

The total sum of the weight of children and


=>
mother = 50 >< 3 = 150

=> The total sum of the weight of children and


father = 52 >< 3 = 156

=>The sum of weight of the children =156 - 60 =


96 kg

=> The weight of the mother= 150 - 96 = 54 kg

:. The required result will be 54 kg.
