Answer: (a)

Number of boys = $4/5 × 50$ = 40

 Part IPart IIPart III
Speed (kmph)987.5
Time (minutes)5080100

= ${9{50}/60 + 8{80}/60 + 7.5{100}/60}/{50/60 + 80/60 + 100/60}$

= (45 + 64 + 75 ) / 23 = 184/23

= 8 kmph

The average weight of a group of 53 girls was calculated as 58 kgs. It was later discovered that the weight of one of the girls was read as 65 kgs., whereas her actual weight was 45 kgs. What is the actual average weight of the group of 53 girls? (rounded off to two digits after decimal)

Answer: (d)

= 65 – 45 = 20 kg.

The average marks of section A are 65 and that of section B are 70. If the average marks of both the sections combined are 67, then the ratio of number of students of section A to that of section B is

Answer: (c)

Section A

${x_1 + x_2 +....+ x_n}/n$ = 65

$x_1 + x_2 +....+ x_n$ = 65×n ...(1)

Section B

${y_1 + y_2 +....+ y_m}/m$ = 70

$y_1 + y_2 +....+ y_m$ = 70×m ...(2)

Combined Section

${y_1 + y_2 +....+ y_m}/m = 70$

65n + 70m = 67n + 67m ;

3m = 2n ; $3/2 = n/m$
