Question 1

22.

23.

21.

24.

Soln.
Ans: a

Let the required average be x. Then $32x - (32 + 42) = 30 × (x - 1).$ which gives $32x - 74 = 30 × (x - 1).$ Solving for x we get x = 22.

Question 3

There are three sections in school with 40, 40 and 40 students respectively. The average weight of a student in these sections, respectively, is 3, 3 and 2 Kg. What is the average weight of all the the students of the combined sections?

$2{2/3}$.

$2{27/40}$.

$2{79/120}$.

$2{13/20}$.

Soln.
Ans: a

The sums of the weights of all the students is 40 × 3 + 40 × 3 + 40 × 2 = 320. The required average = 320/total students = $320/{40 + 40 + 40}$ = ${8/3}$, which is same as: $2{2/3}$.
