    15000——–6000
    ——10000——–
    4000———5000
    Ratio 4:5.
    4—-8
    9—-? ==> 18.
  2. A number, x equals 80% of the average of 5, 7, 14 and a number y. If the average of x and y is 26, then value of y is
    42
    35
    26
    39
    None
    Option D
    Solution:
    Average of 5,7,14 and y =(5+7+14+y) /4
    Then x=80% of (5+7+14+y) /4
    =80/100 *(26+y)/4
    x=(26+y)/5
    And (x+y)/2=26
    Equating both 52-y=(26+y)/5
    260-5y=26+y
    y=39.
  3. On an average 150 people visited the church on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and the average number of visitors on Tuesday and Friday is 250. If the average number of visitors per day in the week be 350, then the average number of people who visited the church in weekends is
    500
    550
    750
    600
    None
    Option C
    Solution:
    Average of Mon + Wed + Thus=150*3 = 450
    Average of Tues +Fri =250*2 = 500
    Average of Mon to sun=350*7 = 2450
    Then Average on weekends =1/2 [2450 – (450+500)] =1/2*(1500)
    =750.
  4. Out of ten persons, 9 persons spent Rs. 30 each for their lunch. The tenth one spent Rs. 90 more than the average expenditure of all the ten. The total money spent by all of them was
    Rs400
    Rs360
    Rs420
    Rs380
    None
    Option A
    Solution:
    Let the average be x.
    Then 10x =9*30 + (x+60)
    10x=270+60+x
    9x=360
    x=40.
    Total money spent= 10*40 =Rs400.
  5. The average of first three numbers is five times of the fourth number. If the average of all the four numbers is 20. Find the 4th number.
    8
    5
    10
    6
    None
    Option B
    Solution:
    Let the four numbers be w, x, y, z
    (w+x+y+z) / 4=20
    w+x+y+z = 80
    (w+x+y)/3=5z
    w+x+y= 15z
    then 15z+z=80
    16z=80
    z=5.
  6. There were 45 girls in a women hostel. Due to the admission of 15 new girls, the expenses of the mess increases by Rs30 per day while the average expenditure per head diminished by Rs3. What was the original expenditure of the mess?

    Rs520
    Rs630
    None
    Option D
    Solution:
    Let the expenses per girl be x.
    Then 60(x-3) – 45x = 30
    60x- 180 – 45x =30
    15x=210
    x=14.
    The original expenditure be 45*14=Rs630.

    30
    35
    None
    Option B
    Solution:
    Let the three numbers be a ,b and c.
    a + b + c = 32*3 =96
    b + c = 96 – 40
    b+c=56
    b-c = 4
    Solving both we get
    2b = 60
    b = 30
    then c = 26.
  8. The average of 7 consecutive numbers is 17. The largest of these numbers is
    22
    19
    20
    18
    None
    Option C
    Solution:
    Let the numbers be x-3, x-2, x-1, x, x+1, x+2, x+3.
    [(x-3) + (x-2) + (x-1) + x+ (x+1) +(x+2) + (x+3)]/7 =17
    7x/7 =17
    x=17.
    Largest no =x+3=17+3=20.
  9. 5 years ago, the average age of P, Q and R was 25 year; 7 years ago the average age of Q & R was 20 years. Find the present age of P?

    Present age of Q+R= 20*2 + 7 *2 = 54
    Present age of P = 90-54 = 36yrs.

  1. I’ve learned quite a few important things by means of your post. I might also like to mention that there might be situation in which you will have a loan and never need a cosigner such as a Federal government Student Aid Loan. In case you are getting a loan through a regular lender then you need to be able to have a cosigner ready to help you. The lenders will base any decision over a few elements but the biggest will be your credit rating. There are some lenders that will in addition look at your job history and make up your mind based on this but in many instances it will depend on your rating.
