2. The average marks in English of a class of 24 students is 56. If the
marks of three students were misread as 44, 45 and 61 in lieu of the
actual marks 48, 59 and 67 respectively, then what would be the correct
average?
(1) 56.5
(2) 59
(3) 57.5
(4) 58
(5) None of these
Solution :- Total marks = 24 56 = 1344
Total of actual marks ={ 1344 - (44 + 45 + 61) + (48 + 59 + 67)} = 1368
Actual Average= 1368/24= 57
Answer: (5) None Of These

3. In a test, a candidate secured 468 marks out of maximum marks' A:.


Had the maximum marks' A' converted to 700, he would have secured 336
marks. What was the maximum marks of the test?
(1) 775
(2) 875
(3) 975
(4) 1075
(5) None of these
Solution: Converted maximum marks = 700
Converted marks = 336
% of Marks = (336/700)*100= 48%
Therefore, 468 is 48% of Maximum Marks A
Hence, A= (468/48)*100= 975
Ans : (3)

4. The ratio between the speed of a truck, car and train is 3: 8: 9. The
car moved uniformly and covered a distance of 1040 km in 13 hours.
What is the average speed of the truck and the train together?
(1) 75km/hr
(2) 60 km/hr
(3) 48 km/hr
(4) Cannot be determined
(5) None of these
Solution: Speed of car = (1040/13)=80KMPH
Ratio of speed of truck, car and train = 3 : 8 : 9
Now 8x = 80
Therefore X = 10 Hence truck = 30 kmph. Train = 90 kmph.
Hence, Average speed of truck and train together = (30+90)/2= 120/2=60

5. Among three numbers the first is twice the second thrice the third.
If the average of the three numbers is 49.5, then the difference
between the first and the third number is
(1) 54
(2) 28
(3) 39.5
(4) 41.5
Let The First Number be X
Second Will be X/2
Third Will Be X/3
According to given Condition,
X+(X/2)+(X/3)= 3*49.5= 148.5
11X= 148.5*6
X= (148.5*6)/11=81

First Number =81


Third= 27
Required Difference= 81-27= 54
Ans: (1)
6.In an examination, the average of marks was found to be 50. For 100
students, marks was computed wrongly as 90 instead of 60.For
deducting marks for computational errors, the average of marks came
down to 45. The total number of candidate, who appeared at the
examination, was
(1) 600
(2) 300
(3) 200
(4) 150

Solution: Let the total number of candidate be x.


By given condition.
50x- 90*100+ 60*100= 45x
50x 9000+6000 = 45x
50x 45x = 3000
Therefore, X= 3000/5=600.
Ans: (1)

7. The average age of 30 boys in a class is 15 yr. One boy aged 20 yr,

Total age of 31 students= 31*15=465
Difference in age= 35 years
X+Y= 35, X-Y=5

X=20
Y=15
