Question : 1

The average expenditure of a man for the first five months is Rs.1200 and for the next seven months is Rs.1300. If he saves Rs.2900 in that year, his monthly average income is :

a) Rs.1400

b) Rs.1700

c) Rs.1600

d) Rs.1500

Answer: (d)

Total annual expenditure of man

= Rs.(5 × 1200 + 7 × 1300)

= Rs. (6000 + 9100)

= Rs. 15100

His total annual income

= Rs. (15100 + 2900)

= Rs. 18000

∴ Average monthly income = $18000/12$ = Rs. 1500

c) Rs.2200

d) Rs.2000

Answer: (b)

Total expenditure of man in a year

=Rs.(4 × 1800 + 8 × 2000)

=Rs.(7200 + 16000)

=Rs.23200

Total annual income

= (23200 + 5600)

=Rs.28800

∴ Average monthly income = $28800/12$ =Rs.2400

a) Rs.225

b) Rs.200

c) Rs.125

d) Rs.106.25

Answer: (a)

Total income of A and B

= Rs. (2 × 200) = Rs. 400

Total income of C and D

= Rs. (2 × 250) = Rs. 500

∴ Required average

= ${400+500}/4$ = $900/4$ = Rs. 225

Question : 4

The average salary of all the workers in a workshop is Rs.8,000. The average salary of 7 technicians is Rs.12,000 and the average salary of the rest is Rs.6,000. The total number of workers in the workshop is

a) 23

b) 22

c) 21

d) 20

Answer: (c)

Total workers = x (let)

∴ 7 × 12000 + (x – 7) × 6000 = 8000 x

⇒ 84000 + 6000 x – 42000 = 8000 x

⇒ 8000 x – 6000 x = 42000

⇒ 2000 x = 42000

⇒ x = $42000/2000$ = 21

Question : 5

The average monthly income of X and Y is Rs.5050. The average monthly income of Y and Z is Rs.6250 and the average monthly income of X and Z is Rs.5200. The monthly income of X is :

a) Rs.5000

b) Rs.4000

c) Rs.3500

d) Rs.4050

Answer: (b)

X + Y =Rs.(2 × 5050) =Rs.10100

Y + Z =Rs.(2 × 6250) =Rs.12500

z + x =Rs.(2 × 5200) =Rs.10400

Adding all three,

2 (X + Y + Z) =Rs.(10100 + 12500 + 10400)

=Rs.33000

⇒ X + Y + Z = Rs.16500

∴ X = (X + Y + Z) – (Y + Z)

=Rs.(16500 – 12500) =Rs.4000

Question : 6

The average salary of all the associates in a team is Rs. 16000. The average salary of 7 senior associates is Rs. 24000 and the average salary of the rest is Rs. 12000. How many associates work in that team?

a) 24

b) 23

c) 22

d) 21

Answer: (d)

Total members in the group = x

Non–senior members = x – 7

According to the question,

16000x = 24000 × 7 + (x – 7) × 12000

⇒ 16x = 24 × 7 + (x – 7) × 12

⇒ 16x = 168 + 12x – 84

⇒ 16x – 12x = 168 – 84

⇒ 4x = 84

⇒ x = $84/4$ = 21
