    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

    Total Income of the family per month
    = 5 x 1000
    = ₹ 5000

    Increased amount per month = 12000/12 = ₹ 1000

    Now, total amount of family income = ₹ 6000 per month

    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

    Correct 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
