Answer : a
Let average after 10th innings = x

A cricketer whose bowling average is 12.4 runs per wicket, takes 5 wickets for 26 runs and there by decreases his average by 0.4. Find out the number of wickets taken by him till the last match.
Correct
Answer : c
Let x be the number of wickets taken till the last match.
According to the question ,
( 12.4 x + 26 ) = 12( x + 5 )
12.4x + 26 = 12 x + 60
0.4 x = 34
∴X = ( 34 / 0.4 ) = 85
Incorrect
Answer : c
Let x be the number of wickets taken till the last match.
According to the question ,
( 12.4 x + 26 ) = 12( x + 5 )
12.4x + 26 = 12 x + 60
0.4 x = 34
∴X = ( 34 / 0.4 ) = 85

Nine friends have a dinner in a hotel. Eight of them spent Rs. 12 each on their meals and the ninth spent Rs. 16 more than the average expenditure of all the nine. Find out the total money spent by them.
Correct
Answer : a
Let average expenditure of 9 persons = x .
According to the question,
12 ´ 8 + ( x + 16 ) = 9x

∴Total money spent = 9x = 9 ´ 14 = Rs. 126
Incorrect
Answer : a
Let average expenditure of 9 persons = x .
According to the question,
12 ´ 8 + ( x + 16 ) = 9x
8x = 112
∴x = ( 112/8) = 14
∴Total money spent = 9x = 9 ´ 14 = Rs. 126

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
The average weight of the students in four sections A, B, C and D is 60 kg. The average weight of the students of A, B, C and D individually are 45 kg, 50 kg, 72 kg and 80 kg, respectively. If the average weight of the students of section A and B together is 48 kg and that of B and C together is 60 kg, what is the ratio of the number of students in sections A and D?
Correct
Answer : b
Let number of students in the sections A, B, C and D be a, b, c and d, respectively. Then, total weight of students of section A = 45a
Total weight of students of section B = 50b
Total weight of students of section C = 72c
Total weight of students of section D = 80d
According to the question,
Average weight of students of sections A and B = 48kg
∴ [( 45a + 50 b) / ( a+b )] = 48
45a + 50b = 48a + 48b
3a = 2b
15a = 10b
And average weight of students of sections
B and C = 60kg
50b + 72c = 60( b + c )
10b = 12c
Now, average weight of students of A, B, C and D = 60 kg
∴45a + 50b + 72c + 80d
= 60 ( a + b + c + d )
15a + 10b – 12c – 20d = 0
15a = 20d
a:d = 4:3
Incorrect
Answer : b
Let number of students in the sections A, B, C and D be a, b, c and d, respectively. Then, total weight of students of section A = 45a
Total weight of students of section B = 50b
Total weight of students of section C = 72c
Total weight of students of section D = 80d
According to the question,
Average weight of students of sections A and B = 48kg
∴ [( 45a + 50 b) / ( a+b )] = 48
45a + 50b = 48a + 48b
3a = 2b
15a = 10b
And average weight of students of sections
B and C = 60kg
50b + 72c = 60( b + c )
10b = 12c
Now, average weight of students of A, B, C and D = 60 kg
∴45a + 50b + 72c + 80d
= 60 ( a + b + c + d )
15a + 10b – 12c – 20d = 0
15a = 20d
a:d = 4:3
