Required marks in third examination = Total required marks in the three examinations - (Marks secured in first examination + Marks secured in second examination)
Correct Option: B
Total required marks in the three examinations = (3 x 600 x 70)/100 =1260
Marks secured in first examination = 55% of 600 = ( 600 x 55)/100 =330
Marks secured in second examination = 60% of 600 = ( 600 x 60)/100 =360
Thus, the required marks in third examination = 1260 - (330 + 360)
= 1260 - 690
= 570

= (1755 + 18 ) / 30
= 59.1

So, the average income of the family per month after increase = 6000/5
= ₹ 1200

Let the temperature on the last day of the week be x° C
Average of the week = ( 3 x 25 + 3 x 27 + x ) / 7 = 26.5Correct Option: B
Let the temperature on the last day of the week be x° C
Average of the week = ( 3 x 25 + 3 x 27 + x ) / 7 = 26.5
⇒ 3 x 25 + 3 x 27 + x = 7 x 26.5
⇒ 156+ x = 185.5
∴ x = 29.5
So, the temprature on the last day of the week is 29.5° C
