• Question 1 of 5 1. Question The average price of 3 precious diamond studded platinum thrones is 7 97610498312. If their prices are in the ratio 4:7:9. The price of the cheapest is (a) 5, 65, 66, 298.972 (b) 5, 85, 66, 29, 8987.2 (c) 58, 56, 62, 889.72 (d) None of these Correct The total price of the three stones would be 97610498312 × 3 = 292831494936. Since, this price is divided into the three stones in the ratio of 4: 7: 9, the price of the cheapest one would be = (4 x2928314936/20) = 58566298987.2 Option b is correct Incorrect The total price of the three stones would be 97610498312 × 3 = 292831494936. Since, this price is divided into the three stones in the ratio of 4: 7: 9, the price of the cheapest one would be = (4 x2928314936/20) = 58566298987.2 Option b is correct
#### 1. Question
The average price of 3 precious diamond studded platinum thrones is 7 97610498312. If their prices are in the ratio 4:7:9. The price of the cheapest is
• (a) 5, 65, 66, 298.972
• (b) 5, 85, 66, 29, 8987.2
• (c) 58, 56, 62, 889.72
• (d) None of these
The total price of the three stones would be 97610498312 × 3 = 292831494936. Since, this price is divided into the three stones in the ratio of 4: 7:
9, the price of the cheapest one would be = (4 x2928314936/20) = 58566298987.2
Option b is correct
The total price of the three stones would be 97610498312 × 3 = 292831494936. Since, this price is divided into the three stones in the ratio of 4: 7:
9, the price of the cheapest one would be = (4 x2928314936/20) = 58566298987.2

• Question 2 of 5 2. Question The average weight of 23boxes is 3kg. If the weight of the container (in which the boxes are kept) is included, the calculated average weight per box increases by 1 kg. What is the weight of the container? (a) 26 kg (b) 4 kg (c) 5 kg (d) None of these Correct The average weight per box is asked. Hence, the container does not have to be counted as the 24th item. Also, since the average for 23 boxes goes up by 1 kg, the total weight must have gone up by 23 kgs. That weight is the actual weight of the container. Hence option d is correct Incorrect The average weight per box is asked. Hence, the container does not have to be counted as the 24th item. Also, since the average for 23 boxes goes up by 1 kg, the total weight must have gone up by 23 kgs. That weight is the actual weight of the container. Hence option d is correct
#### 2. Question
The average weight of 23boxes is 3kg. If the weight of the container (in which the boxes are kept) is included, the calculated average weight per box increases by 1 kg. What is the weight of the container?
• (d) None of these
The average weight per box is asked. Hence, the container does not have to be counted as the 24th item. Also, since the average for 23 boxes goes up by 1 kg, the total weight must have gone up by 23 kgs. That weight is the actual weight of the container.
Hence option d is correct
The average weight per box is asked. Hence, the container does not have to be counted as the 24th item. Also, since the average for 23 boxes goes up by 1 kg, the total weight must have gone up by 23 kgs. That weight is the actual weight of the container.
Hence option d is correct
• Question 3 of 5 3. Question 3 years ago, one-fifth of Amit’s age was equal to one-fourth of the age of Sumit, and the average of their age was 31.5 years. If the age of Punit is also considered, the average age of three of them declines to 28 years. What will be the average age of Amit and Punit 3 years from now? (a) 33 years (b) 34 years (c) 32.5 years (d) 35 years Correct Three years ago:- A/5=S/4 → A =1.255. Also A + S= 63. S = 28 and A = 35. Also, given A + S + P= 84, we get P = 21. So, 3 years from now, A = 35+6= 41 and P = 21+6= 27. Their average age = 34. Option (b) is correct. Incorrect Three years ago:- A/5=S/4 → A =1.255. Also A + S= 63. S = 28 and A = 35. Also, given A + S + P= 84, we get P = 21. So, 3 years from now, A = 35+6= 41 and P = 21+6= 27. Their average age = 34. Option (b) is correct.
#### 3. Question
3 years ago, one-fifth of Amit’s age was equal to one-fourth of the age of Sumit, and the average of their age was 31.5 years. If the age of Punit is also considered, the average age of three of them declines to 28 years. What will be the average age of Amit and Punit 3 years from now?
• (a) 33 years
• (b) 34 years
• (c) 32.5 years
• (d) 35 years
Three years ago:-
A/5=S/4 → A =1.255.
Also A + S= 63. S = 28 and A = 35.
Also, given A + S + P= 84, we get P = 21.
So, 3 years from now, A = 35+6= 41 and P = 21+6= 27.
Their average age = 34. Option (b) is correct.

• Question 4 of 5 4. Question Two farmers were cultivating wheat on their respective agricultural land in a village. Farmer A had an average production of 30 bushels from a hectare. Farmer B, who had 25 hectares of more land dedicated to wheat cultivation, had an output of 40 bushels of wheat from a hectare. If farmer B harvested 1120 bushels of wheat more than farmer A, how many bushels of wheat did farmer A cultivate? (a) 480 (b) 120 (c) 360 (d) 150 Correct Let the number of hectares of land be A and A + 25 for the two farmers. Then, the equation that gets formed based on the situation is: 30 x A + 1120 = 40 × (A + 25) → A = 12. Hence, the number of bushels of wheat cultivated by farmer A = 360 Option c is correct Incorrect Let the number of hectares of land be A and A + 25 for the two farmers. Then, the equation that gets formed based on the situation is: 30 x A + 1120 = 40 × (A + 25) → A = 12. Hence, the number of bushels of wheat cultivated by farmer A = 360 Option c is correct
