Temperature of (Mon + Tue + Wed) = 37 x 3 = 11°C
Temperature of (Tue + Wed + Thu) = 34 x 3 = 102°C
Temperature of (Mon - Thu) = 111°C - 102°C = 9°CCorrect Option: D
Temperature of (Mon + Tue + Wed) = 37 x 3 = 11°C
Temperature of (Tue + Wed + Thu) = 34 x 3 = 102°C
Temperature of (Mon - Thu) = 111°C - 102°C = 9°C
Temperature of [Mon - 4/5(Mon] = 9
Temperature of Monday = 9 x 5 = 45°C
∴ Temperature of Thursday = 45 x 4/5 = 36°C
- The average of 11 numbers is 36. Out of these 11 numbers, the average of 9 numbers is 34. If the ratio of remaining two numbers is 2 : 3, find out the smaller number.

Sum of 11 numbers = 36 x 11 = 396
Sum of 9 numbers = 34 x 9 = 306
Sum of remaining two numbers =396 - 306 = 90Correct Option: B
Sum of 11 numbers = 36 x 11 = 396
Sum of 9 numbers = 34 x 9 = 306
Sum of remaining two numbers =396 - 306 = 90
∴ The smaller number = (2 x 90)/(2 + 3) = 180/5 = 36

Let the 5 consecutive positive integers be x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 9
Average = (Sum of all terms) / (Number of terms)
⇒ 9 = [(x + 1) + (x + 3) + (x + 5) + (x + 7) + (x + 9)]/5Correct Option: A
Let the 5 consecutive positive integers be x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 9
Average = (Sum of all terms) / (Number of terms)
⇒ 9 = [(x + 1) + (x + 3) + (x + 5) + (x + 7) + (x + 9)]/5
⇒ 9 = (5x +25)/5
⇒ 45 = 5x + 25
⇒ 5x = 45 - 25
∴ 5x = 20 ⇒ x = 4
The least one is x + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

According to the question,
70m + 91n = 80 (m + n)Correct Option: D
According to the question,
70m + 91n = 80 (m + n)
⇒ 70m + 91n = 80m + 80n
⇒ 10m = 11n
⇒ n/m = 10/11
- If 47a + 47b = 5452, what is the average of a and b ?

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Find a + b then Average = (a + b)/2
Correct Option: D
47(a + b) = 5452
⇒ a + b = 5452/47 = 116
∴ Average value = (a + b)/2
= 116/2
= 58
