Q:

The average age of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of the boys in the class is 16.4 years and that of the girls is 15.4 years. What is the ratio of boys to girls in the class ?

A) 1:3 B) 2:3
C) 3:2 D) 3:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3

Explanation:

Let number of boys = x  , Let number of girls = y
Total numbers of students = x + y
(x + y) × 15.8 = 16.4x + 15.4y
0.6x = 0.4y
x/y = 0.4/0.6 = 2/3

 

 Ratio of boys and girls in the class is 2:3

Q:

In a class of 78 students 41 are taking French, 22 are taking German. Of the students taking French or German, 9 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

A) 6 B) 12
C) 24 D) 18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24

Explanation:

You could solve this by drawing a Venn diagram. A simpler way is to realize that you can subtract the number of students taking both languages from the numbers taking French to find the number taking only French. Likewise find those taking only German. Then we have:Total = only French + only German + both + neither

78 = (41-9) + (22-9) + 9 + neither.

Not enrolled students = 24
