Question :21

Ten yrs ago, A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages?

Answer: (e)

10 yrs ago, A was $1/2$ of B's ago.

AT present, A is $3/4$ of B's age.

∴ B's age = ${10(1/2 - 1)}/{1/2 - 3/4}$ yrs

A's age = $3/4$ of 20 = 15 yrs

Question :22

Average of five numbers is 61. If the average of first and third number is 69 and the average of second and fourth number is 69, what is the fifth number ?

Answer: (b)

Let the five no. be $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5$.

Average of 5 numbers = 61

${x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5}/5 = 61$

$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 + x_5$ = 305

Now, ${x_1 + x_3}/2 = 69$

$x_1 + x_3$ = 138

${x_2 + x_4}/2$ = 69

$x_2 + x_4 = 138$

Now, $x_1 + x_3 + x_2 + x_4 + x_5$ = 305

138 + 138 + $x_5$ = 305

$x_5$ = 305 – 276

$x_5$ = 29

Question :23

The average of 5 positive integers is 436. The average of the first two numbers is 344 and the average of the last two numbers is 554. What is the third number ?

Answer: (d)

= 2180 – 1796 = 384

= 3 × 2200 + 4 × 2250 + 5 × 3120 + 1260

= 6600 + 9000 + 15600 + 1260 = 32460

Average monthly income = $32460/12$ = Rs. 2705

Question :25
