Question :21

The total of the ages of a class of 75 girls is 1050, the average age of 25 of them is 12 yre and that of another 25 is 16 yr. Find the average age of the remaining girls.

Answer: (c)

Average age of the remaining girls.

= ${1050 - (25 × 12 + 25 × 16)}/25$

= ${1050 - (300 + 400)}/25$

= ${1050 - 700}/25$ = 14 years

Question :22

After 5 yrs, the age of a father will be thrice the age of his son, whereas five years ago, he was 7 times as old as his son was. What are their present ages?

Answer: (c)

Son's age = ${5(7 - 1) + 5(3 - 1)}/{7 - 3}$ = 10 yrs

From the first relationship of ages, if F is the age of the father then F + 5 = 3 (10 + 5)

∴ F = 40 yrs

Question :23

A cricketer has completed 10 innings and his average is 21.5 runs. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to raise his average to 24?

Suppose he needs a score of x in 11th innings;

then average in 11 innings

= ${215 + x}/11 = 24$

or, x = 264 – 215 = 49
