a) Rs.90

b) Rs.100

c) Rs.60

d) Rs.80

Answer: (d)

Total expenditure = 120 × 7 = Rs. 840

Total expenditure of 4 boys = 150 × 4 =Rs. 600

Total expenditure of 3 girls = 840 – 600 = Rs. 240

∴ Their average expenditure

= $240/3$ = Rs. 80

Question : 52 [SSC CGL Prelim 2007]

a) 82

Question : 53 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2015]

The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight (in kg) of B is

a) 31

b) 17

c) 26

d) 20

Answer: (a)

Weight of B = (A + B)’s weight + (B + C)’s weight – (A + B + C)’s weight

= 40 × 2 + 43 × 2 – 45 × 3

= 80 + 86 – 135

= 166 – 135 = 31 kg

Question : 54

The average of 100 numbers is 44. The average of these 100 numbers and 4 other new numbers is 50. The average of the four new numbers will be

a) 176

b) 24

c) 200

d) 800

Answer: (c)

Sum of 4 new numbers

= 50 ×104 – 100 × 44

= 5200 – 4400 = 800

∴ Average = $800/4$ = 200

Aliter : Using Rule 19,

Here, N = 100, T = 44

n = 4, y = 50 – 44 = 6

∴ Average of new numbers

= T+ $({N/n}+1)$

= 44+ $({100/4}+1) ×6$

= 44 + 26 × 6

= 44 + 156 = 200

Question : 55 [SSC CPO 2016]

a) 104

b) 103

c) 101

d) 100

Answer: (a)

Value of 13th result

= 25 × 20 – 12 × 15 – 12 × 18

= 500 – 180 – 216 = 104
