Question 3
3 / -1

The average of eight numbers is 25, that of the first two is 20 and of the next three is 26. The sixth number is less than the seventh by 4, and less than the eighth by 6. The last number is

A
30

B

Total age of family 3 years ago = 17x5 = 85 years
Total age of family now = 17x 6 = 102 years
Total age of family excluding the child now = (85 + 15) = 100 years
Age of child = 2 years

Question 7
3 / -1

The average mark of a class of n students is 64. When eight new students with an average mark of 73 join the class, the new average of the entire class is a whole number. Find the number of students now in the class, given that n lies between 25 and 60.

A
44

B
32

C
36

D
72

Solution

Let ‘x’ be the increase in the average

For ‘x’ to be a whole number 72 (= 9 × 8) should be divisible by (n + 8)
From the choices it can be said that 36 and 72 are two such factors. But 72 does not lie within the range.
∴ number of students in class are 36.
