Solution 1: D)

Required average = {(30 × 250) – (12 × 350) – (8 × 150)}/10 = 210

Hence, option d.

Solution 2: D)

Let, age of Ritu, Neetu and Pinki be 5x years, 7x years and 3x years respectively.

According to question,

(5x + 7x + 3x)/3 = 30

15x = 90

x = 90/15

x = 6

Therefore, age of Pinki = 3 × 6 = 18 years

Hence, option d.

Solution 3: B)

Let sixth, seventh and eighth numbers be 4x, 3x and x, respectively.

Sum of 12 numbers = 12 × 95 = 1140

Sum of sixth, seventh and eighth number = 1140 – 80 × 5 – 98 × 4 = 348

So, 8x = 348

Or, x = 43.5

So, sixth number = 4 × 43.5 = 174

Hence, option b.

Solution 4: D)

Sum of 18 numbers = 18 × 25 = 450

Sum of 20 numbers = 20 × 30 = 600

S, x + y = 600 – 450 = 150 ——(i)

And, x – y = 20 ——-(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

x = 85, y = 65

Hence, option d.

Solution 5: B)

Sum of 15 numbers = 54 × 15 = 810

Sum of the rest three numbers = 810 – 40 × 8 – 46 × 4 = 306

Desired number = 8/17 × 306 = 144

Hence, option b.

Solution 6: C)

Total runs scored in 32 matches = 32 × 80 = 2560

Total runs scored in 40 matches = 40 × 85 = 3400

So, x = (3400 – 2560)/8 = 105

Hence, option c.

Solution 7: C)

Sum of 24 numbers = 24 × 75 = 1800

Sum of 20 numbers = 20 × 62 = 1240

According to question

x – 12 + x – 8 + x + 8 + x + 12 = 1800 – 1240 = 560

Or, 4x = 560

Or, x = 140

Hence, option c.

Solution 8: A)

Number of sweets received by boys = 420 – 150 = 270

Average number of sweets received by each boy = 1.5 × (150/25) = 9

Number of boys = 270/9 = 30

Hence, option a.

Solution 9: D)

Required average age = (16 × 25 + 20 × 35)/36 = 30.55 ~ 30 years

Hence, option d.

Solution 10: B)

Required average = {(24 × 15) + (1.25 × 24 × 16)}/54 = 15.55 years

Hence, option b.
