Q:

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

A) 48 B) 49
C) 50 D) 51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

1 < 4n + 7 < 200

n can be 0, or -1

n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.

The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4

193/4 = 48.25, hence 48

Q:

20 men went to a restaurant. Ninteen of them paid Rs.70 each and the twentieth man paid Rs.90.25 more than the average of all the 20 men. What is the total bill ?

A) Rs. 1495 B) Rs. 548
C) Rs. 850 D) Rs. 1750
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1495

Explanation:

Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x'

But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70

20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25

20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25
19x = 1330 + 90.25
19x = 1420.25
x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75

But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.
