Question 2

Each of the 8 girls of a class has a score 28 marks. If a new girl with a score 56 marks more than the average of all 9 girls is added, what is the sum total of the values of all 9 girls?

315 marks.

316 marks.

314 marks.

313 marks.

Soln.
Ans: a

Let the average of all 9 girls be x, then the required total is T = 9x. By averages, $x = {8 × 28 + (x + 56)}/9$ which is same as $x × 9 = {8 × 28 + (x + 56)}$, which is same as $T = {8 × 28 + (T/9 + 56)}$, solving for T we get 315 marks.

Question 3

The average weight of the 17 bogies of a train increases by 13 Kg when a new bogie replaces a bogie of weight 9 Kg. What is the weight of the new bogie.

230.

231.

229.

232.

Question 4

387 men and 258 women are employed in a farm. The average wage per person is Rs. 128. What is the wage of a man if women are paid Rs. 5 less?

Rs. 130.

Rs. 131.

Rs. 129.

Rs. 132.

Soln.
Ans: a

Let the wage of a man and a woman be x and x - 5. We are given the average ${x × 387 + (x - 5) × 258}/{387 + 258}$ = 128. This equation can be solved for x to get Rs. 130 as the answer.

Question 5

The average weight of 16 students of a class is 31 Kg, whereas the average weight of remaining 16 students is 28 Kg. What is the average weight of all 32 students?

$29{1/2}$.

$30{14/31}$.

$28{20/33}$.

$31{7/15}$.

Soln.
Ans: a

Total weight of 16 students is 16 × 31 = 496. Similarly, the total weight of remaining 16 students is 16 × 28 = 448. The total weight of all 32 students is 496 + 448 = 944. So the average = 944/32 = $29{1/2}$.
