Let The total number of workers = N
According To the question,
60N = 12 x 400 + 56 (N - 12)Correct Option: B
Let The total number of workers = N
According To the question,
60N = 12 x 400 + 56 (N - 12)
⇒ 60N - 56N = 4800 - 672
⇒ 4N = 4128
∴ N = 1032

Here, n1 = 5, n2 = 10, n3 = 15, a1 = 25, a2 = 50, a3 = 35
According to the formula,
Average price = (n1a1 + n2a2 + n3a3) / (n1 + n2 + n3)Correct Option: A
Here, n1 = 5, n2 = 10, n3 = 15, a1 = 25, a2 = 50, a3 = 35
According to the formula,
Average price = (n1a1 + n2a2 + n3a3) / (n1 + n2 + n3)
= (5 x 25 + 10 x 50 + 15 x 35) / (5 + 10 + 15)
= (25 + 100 + 105) / (1 + 2 + 3)
= 230/6
= ₹ 38.33

Given that, number of boys (n1) = 15
Numbers of girls (n2)= 10
Average weight of boys and girls = 38.4 kg
Average of boys = 40 kg
Let average of girls be a2
By formula, average = (na1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)Correct Option: C
Given that, number of boys (n1) = 15
Numbers of girls (n2)= 10
Average weight of boys and girls = 38.4 kg
Average of boys = 40 kg
Let average of girls be a2
By formula, average = (na1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)
⇒ 38.4 = (15(40) + 10 x a2)/(15 + 10)
⇒ 38.4 x 25 = 600+ 10a2
⇒ a2= (960 - 600)/10 = 360/10 = 36 kg

Here n = 120, a = 35, x = 39, y = 15
Number of students passed = n (a - y)/(x - y)Correct Option: B
Here n = 120, a = 35, x = 39, y = 15
Number of students passed = n (a - y)/(x - y)
= 120(35 - 15)/(39 -15)
= 100 students passed

If two equal distance are covered at different speeds at A km/h and B km/h respectively, then
Average speed during the whole journey = 2AB/(A + B) km/hCorrect Option: E
If two equal distance are covered at different speeds at A km/h and B km/h respectively, then
Average speed during the whole journey = 2AB/(A + B) km/h
∴ Average speed of the car = (2 x 42 x 48) / (42 + 48)
= (2 x 42 x 48)/90
= 44.8 km/h
