Q1.	The batting average of 30 innings of a cricketer is 40 runs. His highest score exceeds his lowest score by 100 runs.If these two innings are not included, the average of the remaining 28 innings is 38. What is the lowest score of the player ?

1)	12	2)	16
3)	18	4)	20
5)	None of these

Answer : 18
Explanation : Let, the highest and lowest score are x and y respectively.

So, x + y = (40 X 30 ) - (28 X 38) = 136 -------- (i)

Given, x-y = 100 -------- (ii)

Given, x-y = 100

By solving, the above equation we get, x= 118 and x = 18

Q3.	The average age of 50 students of a class is 16 years. When 10 new students are admitted, then the average age increased by 0.5 years. What is the average age of the new students ?

1)	17 years	2)	18 years
3)	19 years	4)	20 years

After admitted 10 new students ,total age become 60 X 16.5 = 990 yrs.

So, age of new students = 990 -800 = 190 yrs.

Thus, their average 190 /10 = 19 yrs.

Q5.	There are some adult students in a class and their average age was 40 years. If 12 new students with an average age of 50 years join with them, their new average age will be increases by 5 years.What was the original strength of that class ?

1)	8	2)	10
3)	12	4)	15
5)	None of these

Answer : 12
Explanation : Let, there were x number of students in the class.

Given that their average age was 40 yrs.

So, their total age was = 40x yrs

Now, 12 new students join with them with an average age of 50 yrs.

Then, total age was = (12 x 50) = 600 yrs. and total students were x+12.

Now, new total age was = (4x + 600 ) yrs.

So, (40x + 600 ) / (x+12) = 45

or 45x + 540 = 40x + 600

or 5x = 600 -540 = 60

or x = 60/5 = 12

Thus, original strength of that class was 12.

Q6.	The average age of a class of 30 students is 12. If the teacher is also included the average becomes 13 years. Find the teacher's age.

1)	39 years	2)	40 years
3)	44 years	4)	Data Inadequate
5)	None of these

Answer : 39 years
Explanation :

When the teacher is included there are totally 31 members in the class and the average is increased by 1 year. This means that everyone got 1 extra year after distributing the extra years of the teacher.

So, extra years of the teacher are as follow: 31Ã—1=31 years.

Age of the teacher = actual avg + extra years = 12 + 31 = 43 years

Age of the teacher = (25 x 15 - 24 x 14) = 39 years.

Q7.	There were 35 students in a hostel. If the number of the students is increased by 7, then the expenses of the mess increase by Rs.42 per day, while the average expenditure per head diminishes by Rs.1. What the original expenditure of the mess per day ?

1)	Rs.400	2)	Rs.432
3)	Rs.442	4)	Rs.420
5)	None of these

Answer : Rs.420
Explanation : Let, the average expenditure of the mess per day is Rs.x.

Then, total expenditure/day = Rs.35x

Now, total students = 35+7= 42 and new expenditure of the mess = Rs.(35x +42)

So, Rs.(35x +42) /42 = Rs.x-1

or 35x + 42 = 42x -42

or 7x = 84

or x = 12

Therefore, original expenditure of the mess = 35 x 12= Rs.420

Q8.	In an examination, a student's average marks were 63. If he had obtained 20 more marks for his Mathematics and 2 more marks for his Geography, his average would have been 65. How many subjects were there in the examination ?

1)	8	2)	10
3)	11	4)	14
5)	None of these

Answer : 11
Explanation :

Let, the number of subjects = x

Then, Total marks he scored for all subjects = 63x

If he had obtained 20 more marks for his mathematics and 2 more marks for his geography, his average would have been 65.

=> Total marks he would have scored for all subjects = 65x

Now, we can form the equation as 65x - 63x = the additional marks of the student

= 20 + 2 = 22

=> 2x = 22

=>x=22/2=11

Q9.	A batsman makes a score of 96 runs in the 16th innings and thus increases his averages by 2. What is his average runs after 16th innings ?

1)	62	2)	64
3)	66	4)	72
5)	None of these

Answer : 66
Explanation :

Let, the average up to 15th innings = x.

Total runs scored in 15 innings = 15x

Then average after 16 innings = (x+2).

Total runs scored in 16 innings = (15x + 96)

So, (15x + 96)/16 = (x+2)

=> 15x + 96 = 16x + 32

=> x = 64

Therefore, his average run after 16th innings is 64+2= 66 runs.

Q10.	The average weight of 10 person increases by 3 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 45 kg. What is the weight of the new person?

1)	75 Kg	2)	65 Kg
3)	80 Kg	4)	85 Kg
5)	None of these

Answer : 75 Kg
Explanation :

Total increase in weight = 10×3 = 30

If x is the weight of the new person, total increase in weight = x - 45

=> 30 = x - 45

=> x = 30 + 45 = 75 kg
