D. 35
Let the number of students who wrote the exam be x.
Total marks of students = 80 x.
Total marks of (x – 5) students = 90(x – 5)
80x – (5 * 40) = 90(x – 5)
250 = 10x => x = 25

A. 60
B. 64
C. 72
D. 80
Explanation:
Given M + P + C = 80 * 3 = 240 — (1)
M + P = 90 * 2 = 180 — (2)
P + C = 70 * 2 = 140 — (3)
Where M, P and C are marks obtained by the student in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
P = (2) + (3) – (1) = 180 + 140 – 240 = 80

Let the four integers be A, B, C and D where A > B > C > D.
(A + B + C + D)/4 = 69 => A + B + C + D = 276 —> (1)
A = 93, D = 39 and B – C = 28
(1) => B + C = 276 – (A + D) = 276 – 132 = 144.
B + B -28 = 144
B = (144 + 28)/2 = 86

Find the actual average height of the boys in the class (Round off your answer to two decimal places)?

A. 179.29 cm
B. 178.29 cm
C. 179.38 cm
D. 178.39 cm
Explanation:
Calculated average height of 35 boys = 180 cm.
Wrong total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm. This was as a result of an actual height of 106 cm being wrongly written as 166 cm. Correct total height of 35 boys = 180 * 35 cm – 166 cm + 106 cm
= 180 * 35 cm – 166 cm + 106 cm/35 = 180 cm – 60 /35 cm
= 180 cm – 1.71 cm = 178.29 cm

The average age of seven persons sitting in a row facing east is 28 years. If the average age of the first three persons is 21 years and the average age of the last three persons is 34 years, then find the age of the person sitting in the middle of the row?

A. 30 Years
B. 31 years
C. 26 years
D. 33 years
Explanation:
Total age seven persons = (28 * 7)years
Total age of the first three persons and the last three persons are (21 * 3) years and (34 * 3) years respectively.
Age of the person sitting in the middle of the row = 28 * 7 – 21 * 3 – 34 * 3 = 196 – 63 – 102 = 31 years
