Q:

In a cricket match, five batsmen P, Q, R, S and T scored an average of 36 runs. S Scored 5 more than T; T scored 8 fewer than P; Q scored as many as S and T combined; and Q and R scored 107 between them. How many runs did T score ?

A) 20	B) 29
C) 28	D) 24

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Let the runs scored by P, Q, R, S and T be a, b, c, d and e

From given data,

a + b + c + d + e = 36 x 5 = 180
b + c = 107
Let a = x
e = x-8
d = x-3
now 3x - 11 + 107 = 180
3x = 84
x = 28
e's score = 28-8 = 20

II. Other allowances drawn by Rajan besides his basic salary are Rs 2000 per month which is Rs 50 less than Vasu's salary.

III. Rajan's basic salary is Rs 1550 per month.

A) II only	B) II and III together
C) I and II together (	D) I, II and III together

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I, II and III together

Explanation:

From III, we have : Rajan's basic salary = Rs 1550.

From I, we have : Vasu's basic salary = Rs (1550 + 100) = Rs 1650.

From II. we have : Rajan's other allowances = RS 2000

and Vasu's other allowances = Rs 2050.

Vasu's monthly salary is (1650 + 2050) = Rs 3700.

Thus, all the three statements are required.
