Q The average of 11 observations is 60. If the Average<br />

of first five observations is 58 and that of the last five<br />

is 56, then what is the sixth observation?<br />

Sum of 11 observations = 60 x 11 = 660<br />

Sum of the first five observations = 58 x 5 = 290<br />

Sum of the last five observations = 56 x 5 = 280<br />

Value of sixth observations = Sum of 11<br />

observations - (Sum of first five observations +<br />

Sum of last five observations)<br />

⇒ Sixth observation = 660 - (290 + 280)<br />

= 660 - 570 = 90<br />

Q The Average expenditure of a man for the first<br />

five months was Rs. 120 and for the next seven<br />

months was Rs. 130. What was his monthly average<br />

income if he saved Rs. 290 in that year?<br />

Total income for 12 months<br />

a boy is included, what is the weight of the boy?<br />

a) 22.5 kg b) 30 kg c) 25 kg d) 20 kg<br />

A : a) 22.5<br />

Weight of the boy = 60 x 6 - 67.5 x 5 = 22.5<br />

Total mark of boys = 24 x 25 = 600<br />

Total mark of girls = 16 x 24 = 384<br />

Total mark = 600 + 384 = 984<br />

Total students = 24 + 16 = 40<br />

Average mark = Total mark<br />

Total students<br />

984<br />

= = 24.6<br />

40<br />

Q Out of the five numbers, average of first four numbers<br />

is 15 and the average of last four numbers is 12. Also<br />

last number is 18. What is the first number?<br />

a) 48 b) 27 c) 33 d) 30<br />

A : d) 30<br />

Average of first 4 number = 15<br />

Total of first 4 number = 15 x 4 = 60<br />

Average of last 4 number = 12<br />

Total of last 4 number = 12 x 4 = 48<br />

It is given that last number = 18<br />

Total of 5 number = 60 + 18 =78<br />

∴The first number = 78 - 48 = 30<br />

Q The average age of 15 persons is 24 years. Later<br />

a boy is included into this group then the average<br />

becomes 23 years. The age of the boy will be?<br />

a) 22 b) 8 c) 18 d) 12<br />

A : b) 8<br />

Previous Average + (number of members x increase<br />

in average)<br />

Here the average become 24 to 23<br />

So the increasement of average = -1<br />

Number of members = 15 + 1 = 16<br />

∴age of the boy = 24 + (16 x -1)<br />

= 24 - 16 = 8<br />

Q The average height of a group of five students was<br />

165 cm. One student of height 160 cm left the group.<br />

After two years, the height of the remaining students<br />

increases by 2cm, 3cm, 2cm and 4cm. The new<br />

mean height is?<br />

a) 135.2cm b) 169cm c) 169.5cm d) 160cm<br />

A : b) 169cm<br />

Total height = Average x number of students<br />

= 165 x 5 = 825<br />

After the 160cm height student goes away<br />

Total height = 825 - 160 = 665<br />

After 2 years total height = 665 + (2+3+2+4)<br />

= 676<br />

Average height = Total height<br />

number of students<br />

676<br />

= = 169cm<br />

4<br />

Q Average of 5 consecutives odd numbers A, B, C, D<br />

and E is 45. What is the product of B and D?<br />

a)2025 b) 1935 c) 2021 d) 1981<br />

A : c) 2021<br />

If the average of ‘n’ consecutive odd number is A<br />

then the largest number = A + (n - 1)<br />

Here, n = 5, A = 45<br />

Largest number,<br />

E = 45 + (5 - 1) = 49<br />

∴D = 49 - 2 = 47<br />

C = 47 - 2 = 45<br />

B = 45 - 2 = 43<br />

B x D = 43 x 47 = 2021<br />

Q The middle number among 11 consecutive natural<br />

number is 28. Find the sum of 11 numbers?<br />

a) 308 b) 380 c) 318 d) 320<br />

A : a) 308<br />

Sum = 11 x 28 = 308<br />

Length of first train = 200m<br />

Let the length of the platform be ‘y’ meters<br />

5 40<br />

Speed of the first train = 48 × = m/sec<br />

18 3<br />

3<br />

∴(200 + y) x = 45<br />

600 + 3y = 45 x 40<br />

3y = 1200<br />

y = 400 m<br />

Two station A and B are 110 km apart on a straight<br />

line. One train starts from A at 7 am and travels<br />

towards B at 20 km/h. Another train starts from<br />

B at 8 am and travels towards A at a speed of 25<br />

km/h. At what time will they meet<br />

Suppose they meet ‘x’ hours after 7 am<br />

Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km<br />

Q<br />

Q<br />

Distance covered by B in (x-1) hours = 25 (x-1)<br />

km<br />

∴ 25(x-1) + 20 x = 110<br />

45 x = 135<br />

x = 3<br />

So they met at 10 am<br />

A train X starts from Trivandrum at 4 pm and reaches<br />

Kollam at 5 pm while another train Y starts from<br />

Kollam at 4 pm and reaches Trivandrum at 5.30<br />

pm. The two trains will cross each other at?<br />

Suppose, the distance between Trivandrum and<br />

Kollam is ‘x’ km<br />

Time taken by X to cover x km = 1 hour<br />

3<br />

Time taken by Y to cover x km = hour<br />

2<br />

2 x<br />

Speed of X = x km/h ; Speed of Y = km/h<br />

3<br />

Let them meet y hours after 4 pm. Then,<br />

y = hours<br />

y =<br />

x60 min = 36 min<br />

So the two train meets at 4:36 pm<br />

Two trains running in opposite direction cross a<br />

man standing on the plat form in 27 second and 17<br />

seconds respectively and they cross each other in<br />

23 seconds. The ratio of their speed is?<br />

Let the speeds of two trains be x m/s and y m/sec<br />

respectively<br />

Then length of the first train = 27x meters and<br />

length of the second train = 17 y meters<br />

27x + 17y = 23x+ 23y 4x = 6y<br />

=<br />

∴ = 23<br />

The sum of 10 th term and 20 th term of an AP is<br />

60. What is the sum of 14 th and 16 th term<br />

10 th term = a + 9d<br />

20 th term = a + 19d<br />

Sum = (a + 9d) + (a + 19d) = 60<br />

2a+ 28d = 60 ------ (1)<br />

14 th term = a + 13d<br />

16 th term = a + 15d<br />

Sum = (a + 13d) + (a + 15d)<br />

2a+ 28d - Equation--- (1)<br />

c) 76, 67 d) none<br />

ans: a) -77, -67<br />

Given, 10 th term of an AP = 5<br />

a + (n-1)d = 5<br />

a+(10-1)d = 5<br />

⇒a+9d = 5 - - - - - - (1)<br />

and 18 th term = 77<br />

a + (n-1)d = 77<br />

a+(18-1)d = 77<br />

⇒a+17d = 77 - - - - - - (2)<br />

(2) - (1), 8d = 72<br />

∴ d = 9<br />

mass of neutron = 1.6749x10 -27 Kg<br />

Heaviest particle in an atom<br />

A. neutron<br />

• neutron is chargeless in nature. When a neutron<br />

splits, an electron and a proton are obtained.<br />

neutron is the least stable particle in an atom<br />

• Protons and Neutrons together stay inside the<br />

nucleus. Therefore they are known as nucleons<br />

After 8 years, Rohit will be twice as old as his son.<br />

What are their present ages?<br />

Lets the son’s age 8 years ago be x years<br />

Then Rohit's age 8 years ago = 4x years<br />

Son’s age after 8 years = (x + 8) + 8<br />

Rohit's age after 8 years (4x+8) + 8<br />

a) Rs. 50 b) Rs. 20<br />

c) Rs. 120 d) Rs. 60<br />

ans: b) rs. 20<br />

Suppose the share of a child = Rs. 1<br />

∴1 woman would get Rs. 3 and a man would Rs. 6<br />

Now 4 men get = 6 x 4 = Rs. 24<br />

get filled?<br />

a) 199 hrs b) 200 hrs<br />

c) 110 hrs d) 220 hrs<br />

ans: a) 199 hrs<br />

Suppose the total capacity of the tank is 110 litres<br />

(∴LCM of 10 and 11 is 110)<br />

According to the question, tap ‘P’ can add = 11 litres<br />

per hour<br />

Q can empty = 10 litres per hour<br />

In every two hours (11-10) = 1 litre will be added to<br />

the tank when P and Q are opened alternately for one<br />

hour each.<br />

Hence in (99 x 2) = 198 hours there will be 99 litres<br />

water in the cistern<br />

Again in the 199 th hour P will add another 11 litres<br />

water in the cistern<br />

Thus after 199 hours the cistern will get filled<br />
