Question :

In a cricket team, the average age of eleven players in 28 years. What is the age of the captain?

Statements :

a. The captain is eleven years older than the youngest player.

b. The average age of 10 players, other than the captain is 27.3 years.

c. Leaving aside the captain and the youngest player, the average ages of three groups of three players each are 25 years, 28 years and 30 years respectively.

A) All a,b and c follows B) Only a and c follows
C) Either b alone or a & b follows D) None

Answer:   C) Either b alone or a & b follows



Explanation:

From statement (b)
Average of 11 players = 11 x 28 = 308
Average of 10 players = 10 x 27.3 = 273
Age of captain = 308 - 273 = 35.

From the Statement (a) we can say that captain's age (C) = y + 11 ...(1) where y-youngers age
From the statement (c),the averge age of 3groups of 3players each was given,
It means total 9 players age was given indirectly,
1st group: 25 x 3 = 75
2nd group: 28 x 3 = 84
3rd group: 30 x 3 = 90
Total  is 75 + 84 + 90 = 249
Now {C + Y + (9 players age sum)}/11 = 28
Y + 11 + Y + (249) = 28 x 11=308
2Y+260=308
2Y = 308-260 = 40 ==> Y=24 ==> C(captain's age)= Y+11 = 24+11 = 35

Therefore, statement b alone or a & c only is the answer.

Q:

Read the following statements and answer the question given below.

U.S. fraternity and sorority members who drink heavily while in school don’t tend to drink after graduation, according to a recent study in Psychology of Addictive Behaviours.

Which of the following would be a logical extension of the above passage?

A) Most men come out of a drinking binge after they cross thirty. B) With graduation comes a sense of responsibility which makes students abstain from such vices.
C) Drinking begins as a group activity and as students leave these groups, the habit of drinking is also left behind. D) Drinking heavily during college days make most students realize the harmful effects of alcoholic drinks.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Drinking begins as a group activity and as students leave these groups, the habit of drinking is also left behind.

Explanation:

The passage only provides the information that students drink in school but seem to stop binging after they graduate. Option [A] is incorrect as there is no mention in the passage that students
are only males and that they graduate at thirty. Options [B] and [D] are incorrect because it is not mentioned so in the passage. Since the passage talks about student groups - 'fraternity and sorority members' - a logical extension would be that it is these groups that prod students to begin drinking and with the breaking of these groups, the habit is also broken. Hence, [C].
