Q:

The mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday was 37C and of Tuesday to Thursday was 34C . If the temperature on Thursday was (4/5) th that of Monday, the temperature on Thursday was?

Answer

$\inline \fn_jvn M+T+W =(37\times 3)^{0}=111^{0}C$ -----------(1)

$\inline \fn_jvn T+W+Th=(34\times 3)^{0}=102^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow T+W+\frac{4}{5}M = 102^{0}C$ --------------(2)

(1) - (2) gives

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{1}{5}$ th of temperature on Monday = $111^{0}-102^{0}=9^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow$ Temperature on Monday = $\inline \fn_jvn 45^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore$ Temperature on Thursday = $\inline \fn_jvn \frac{4}{5}\times 45^{0}=36^{0}$

Q:

The average expenditure of the hotel when there are 10 guests is Rs. 60 per guests and the average expenditure is Rs.40 when there are 20 Guests. If it is known that there are some fixed expenses irrespective of the number of guests then the average expenditure per guest whe there are 40 guests in the hotel.

A) Rs. 30	B) Rs. 25
C) Rs. 20	D) can't be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 30

Explanation:

Let the fixed expenditure of the hotel be Rs.x and the variable expenditure ( which is dependent on the guest ) is Rs.y , then

x + 10y = 600 ---------(1)

x + 20y = 800 ----------(2)

From (1) & (2)

10y = 200

=> y = Rs. 20 and x= 400

Hence the total expenditure when there are 40 guests = 400 + 40 x 20 = 1200

Therefore, average expenditure = 1200/40 = Rs. 30

Q:

The average of 26,29,n,35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35. If n is always an integer and greater than the average of the given integers then the value of n is :

A) 33	B) 34
C) 33	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33
Explanation:

Average of 26,29,35 and 43 is 33.25 . Also the average of 26 , 29, n, 35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35 i.e,

$25 < \frac{26 + 29 + n + 35 + 43}{5} < 35$

=> 125 < 26+29+n+35+43 < 175

=> 125 < 133 + n < 175

=> n < 42

Since the value of n is an integer and greater than 33.25 then 33 < n < 42 for every integer n.
