    Given that , The average of five results = 46
    Sum total of five results = 5 × 46 = 230
    and average of first four = 45.
    Sum total of first four results = 4 × 45 = 180

    Correct Option: A

    Given that , The average of five results = 46
    Sum total of five results = 5 × 46 = 230
    and average of first four = 45.
    Sum total of first four results = 4 × 45 = 180
    So, fifth result = 230–180 = 50.

    Let mother’s age = y years
    The age of elder sister = 18 years
    Father’s present age = 32 + 15 = 47 years
    According to question ,
    ∴ 47 – y = 2 (18 – 15) = 6

    Correct Option: B

    Let mother’s age = y years
    The age of elder sister = 18 years
    Father’s present age = 32 + 15 = 47 years
    According to question ,
    ∴ 47 – y = 2 (18 – 15) = 6
    ⇒ y = 47 – 6 = 41 years

    Here , The average age of 40 boys = 16 years.
    Total age of 40 boys initially = 16 × 40 = 640 years
    Age of replaced boy = 17 years
    Total age of 39 boys = 640 – 17 = 623 years
    New total age = 40 × 15.95 = 638 years

    Correct Option: B

    Here , The average age of 40 boys = 16 years.
    Total age of 40 boys initially = 16 × 40 = 640 years
    Age of replaced boy = 17 years
    Total age of 39 boys = 640 – 17 = 623 years
    New total age = 40 × 15.95 = 638 years
    ∴ Age of new boy = 638 – 623 = 15 years



  1. The average temperature of Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday is 60°. The average temperature for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is 63°. If the ratio of temperature for Monday and Friday is 21 : 25, then what is the temperature of Friday ?

    Let The temperature for Monday and Friday are 21y and 25y.
    According to the question,
    M + T + W + Th = 60 × 4 = 240° ..... (i)
    T + W + Th + F = 63 × 4 = 252° ..... (ii)
    By equation (ii) – (i),
    F – M = 252° – 240° = 12°
    ⇒ 25y – 21y = 12°

    Correct Option: C

    Let The temperature for Monday and Friday are 21y and 25y.
    According to the question,
    M + T + W + Th = 60 × 4 = 240° ..... (i)
    T + W + Th + F = 63 × 4 = 252° ..... (ii)
    By equation (ii) – (i),
    F – M = 252° – 240° = 12°
    ⇒ 25y – 21y = 12°
    ⇒ 4y = 12° ⇒ y = 12 ÷ 4 ° = 3°
    ∴ Temperature on Friday = 25y = 25 × 3 = 75°
