A group of 210 students appeared in some test. The mean of 1/3 rd of students is found to be 60. The mean of the remaining students is found to be 78. The mean of the whole group will be;
(1) 80 (2) 76 (3) 74 4) 72
Answer:4
Solution: Mean = x/Number of students 60 = x/70 x = 70*60
⇒ Sum of marks of 70 students = 4200
Remaining students = 210 – 70 = 140 students
Mean of 140 students = 78
Sum of marks of 78 students = 140*78 = 10920
Total marks of 210 students = 4200 + 10920= 15120
Mean of whole group = 15120/210 = 72 marks

passed in two subjects only = 1200
passed in one subject only = 735
failed in English only = 75
failed in Physics only = 145
failed in Chemistry only = 140
failed in Mathematics only = 200
failed in Bio-science only = 157
The number of students passed in at least four subjects is :
1) 6300 (2) 6900 (3) 7300 (4) 790
Answer:1
Solution: Total students appeared = 10000
passed in all five subjects = 5583
passed in three subjects only = 1400
passed in two subjects only = 1200
passed in one subject only = 735

At present a person is 4 times older than his son and is 3 years older than his wife. After 3 years the age of the son will be 15 years. The age of the person’s wife after 5 years will be:
(1) 42 (2) 48 (3) 45 4) 50
Answer:4
Solution: After 3 years, age of his son = 15
=> present age of his son = 12
at present, the person is 4 times older than his son
=> present age of the person = 4 × present age of his son = 4×12 = 48
=> present age of his wife = 48 – 3 = 45
Age of his wife after 5 years = 45 + 5 = 50

(A) 30,50 (B) 36,60 C) 33,55 (D) 42,70
Answer:3
Solution: Let the number be 3x and 5x. Then, 3x – 95 x – 9 = 12 23 ⇒ 23 (3x−9) =1 2 (5x−9 ) ⇒9x=99⇒x=11.∴The smaller number=(3×11)=33
The mean of the ages of father and his son is 27 years. After 18 years, father will be twice as old as his son. Their present ages are
A) 42.12 (B) 40,14 (C) 30,24 (D) 36.18
Answer:1
Solution: father age = y years ,mean age of them = 27 years
( x + y ) / 2 = 27 ,x + y = 54 years y = 54 – x —–( 1 )
after 18 years, son age = ( x + 18 ) years ,father’s age = ( y + 18 ) years
father’s age = 2 × son’s age y + 18 = 2 ( x + 18) ,y + 18 = 2x + 36
y = 2x + 36 – 18 ,y = 2x + 18 —–( 2 )
2x + 18 = 54 – x, 2x + x = 54 – 18=>3x = 36 x = 12
y = 54 – 12 y = 42
son’s age = x = 12 years father age = y = 42years
The next term in the series : 2,7,28,63, 126. is

4^3 – 1 = 64 – 1 = 63,5^3 + 1 = 125 + 1 = 126, 6^3 – 1 = 216 – 1 = 215.

A) 85(B) 60 (C) 70 (D) 65
Answer:1
Solution: Average(mean) = sum/total
mean of 40 students=65
65=sum/40 =sum of 40 members=2600
mean of 20 students=45
45=sum/20=sum of 20 members=900
sum of remaining 20 members= sum of 40 members – sum of 20 members
= 2600-900=1700
so sum of remaining 20 members=1700
mean= sum/total
mean=1700/20=85

The number of observations in a group is 40. The average of the first 10 members is 4.5 and the average of the remaining 30 members is 3.5. The average of the whole group is
(A) 4 (B) 15/2 C) 15/4 (D) 6
Answer:3
Solution: Average of First 10 observations = 4.5
Average of Remaining 30 observations = 3.5
Average of Total observations = (Sum of 10 members + Sum of Remaining 30 members ) / Total observations
Sum of First 10 members = 4.5 x 10 = 45
Sum of Remaining 30 members = 3.5 x 30 = 105
Hence, Average of Total observations = (45 + 105) / 40= 150 / 40
Average of Total observations = 3. 75
