Solution:
Total score of the batsman in 20 matches = 800.
Total score of the batsman in the next 10 matches = 130.
Total score of the batsman in the 30 matches = 930.
Average score of the batsman = 930/30 = 31.

Solution:
(x * 8 * 1)/100 - (x * 31/4 * 1/100) = 61.50
32x - 31x = 6150 * 4
x = 24,600.

7. Rs. 6000 is lent out in two parts. One part is lent at 7% p.a simple interest and the other is lent at 10% p.a simple interest. The total interest at the end of one year was Rs. 450. Find the ratio of the amounts lent at the lower rate and higher rate of interest?
- 5 : 1
- 4 : 1
- 3 : 2
- 2 : 1
25
-
View Answer
Solution:
Let the amount lent at 7% be Rs. x
Amount lent at 10% is Rs. (6000 - x)
Total interest for one year on the two sums lent
= 7/100 x + 10/100 (6000 - x) = 600 - 3x/100
=> 600 - 3/100 x = 450 => x = 5000
Amount lent at 10% = 1000
Required ratio = 5000 : 1000 = 5 : 1

Solution:
(x*5*1)/100 + [(1500 - x)*6*1]/100 = 85
5x/100 + 90 – 6x/100 = 85
x/100 = 5
=> x = 500

View Answer
Solution:
Let sum = x. Then, amount = 7x/6
S.I. = 7x/6 - x = x/6; Time = 3 years.
Rate = (100 * x) / (x * 6 * 3) = 5 5/9 %.
18. The average of four positive integers is 69. The highest integer is 93 and the least integer is 39. The difference between the remaining two integers is 28. Which of the following integers is the higher of the remaining two integers?
- 68
- 86
- 90
- 99
70
-
View Answer
Solution:
Let the four integers be A, B, C and D where A > B > C > D.
(A + B + C + D)/4 = 69 => A + B + C + D = 276 ---> (1)
A = 93, D = 39 and B - C = 28
(1) => B + C = 276 - (A + D) = 276 - 132 = 144.
B + B -28 = 144
B = (144 + 28)/2 = 86
