A. 45
B. 50
C. 51.4 approx.
D. 54.6 approx.
Explanation:
Let the required means score be x. Then,
20 * 80 + 25 * 31 + 55 * x = 52 * 100
= 1600 + 775 + 55x = 5200
= 55x = 2825
= x = 565/11 = 51.4.

A. 48 runs
B. 52 runs
C. 55 runs
D. 60 runs
Explanation:
Let average for 10 innings be x. Then,
(10x + 108)/11 = x + 6
= 11x + 66 = 10x + 108
= x = 42.
New average = (x + 6) = 48 runs

A. 23 years
B. 24 years
C. 25 years
D. None of these
Explanation:
Let the average of the whole team be x years.
11x – (26 + 29) = 9(x – 1)
= 11x – 9x = 46
= 2x = 46 => x = 23
So, average age of the team is 23 years

The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is____________?

A. Rs. 3500
B. Rs. 4000
C. Rs. 4050
D. Rs. 5000
Explanation:
Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 * 2) = 10100 — (i)
Q + R = (6250 * 2) = 12500 — (ii)
P + R = (5200 * 2) = 10400 — (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:
2(P + Q + R) = 33000 = P + Q + R = 16500 — (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get, P = 4000.
P’s monthly income = Rs. 4000

The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is____________? Read More »
