- A
$60.5$ gram
- B
$60$ gram
- ✓
$59$ gram
- D

Three years ago the average age of the family of $5$ members was $17$ years A baby having been born the average age of the family is the same today What is the baby today$?$
- A
$4$ years
- B
$3$ years
- ✓
$2$ years
- D
$1$ year
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2$ years
Given three year ago the average age of $5$ family member is $17$ year.
Then present age of six members family $= 17 × 6 = 102$ yearsAnd present age of five members
family $= (17 + 3) × 5 = 100$ years so age of baby to day $= 102 - 100 = 2$ years.

There are $7$ observations in the data and their mean is $11$. If each observation is multiplied by $2,$ then the mean of new observations is:
AnswerMean $= 11$
Number of observations $= 7$
Sum of observations $= 11 × 7 = 77$
Sum of new observations $= 2 × 77 = 154$
Mean of new observations $=\frac{154}{7}=22$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

If the range of $14, 12, 17, 18, 16, x$ is $20$ and $x > 0,$ the value of $x$ is:
AnswerRange is the difference between the smallest value and largest value of the data set.
given data set is $14, 12, 17, 18, 16, x$ and Range is given as $20$ In the given set the smallest value is $12$ and the largest value is $18.$
$\therefore$ the range is $18 - 12 = 6 \neq$ hence, $18$ is not the largest value. Variable $x$ is the largest value.
$\therefore$ range is $x - 12 = 20$
$\Rightarrow x = 20 + 12 = 32$

A bag contains $4$ green balls, $4$ red balls and $2$ blue balls. If a ball is drawn from the bag, the probability of getting neither green nor red ball is:
- A
$\frac{2}{5}$
- B
$\frac{1}{2}$
- C
$\frac{4}{5}$
- ✓
$\frac{1}{5}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $\frac{1}{5}$
The probability of getting neither green nor red ball is equal to the probability of getting blue balls.
Number of blue balls $= 2$
Total number of balls $= 4 + 4 + 2 = 10$
Therefore
Probability of getting neither green nor red ball $=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

- ✓
- B
$\text{H.P}$
- C
$\text{U.P}$

AnswerThe average number of candidates selected over the given period for various states are:
For Delhi $= \frac{94 + 48 + 82 + 90 + 70}{5} = \frac{385}{5} = 76.8$
For $\text{U.P} \frac{78 + 85 + 48 + 70 + 80}{5} = \frac{361}{5} = 72.2$
For Punjab $\frac{85 + 70 + 65 + 84 + 60}{5} = \frac{364}{5} = 72.8$
For Haryana $\frac{75 + 75 + 55 + 60 + 75}{5} = \frac{340}{5} = 68$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $29.9$
The total no. of observations are $100$ The mean of those observations are $30$
So The sum of observations is $30 \times 100 = 3000$ the wrong observations are $32$ and $12$ those are to be subtracted from sum of observations
So, $3000 - 32 - 12 = 2956$ the correct observations are $23$ and $11$ those are to be added
so, $2956 + 23 + 11 = 2990$ the mean is given by.
$ = \frac{2990}{100} = {29.9}$

The mean of first six natural numbers is:
Answer First six natural numbers are: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$
$\text{mean} = \frac{\text{sum}}{\text{number of observations}} = \frac{{ 1 }+ { 2 }+{ 3 } +{ 4 }+{ 5 }+{ 6 }} {{6}} = 3.5$

The average maximum temperature for $7$ days from the $12th$ September to $18th$ September is $35^\circ C$ and that for $7$ days from $13th$ to $19th$ September is $34^\circ C.$ From this we can conclude that:
- A
Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $1^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September
- B
Maximum temperature on $12th$ is $1^\circ C$ less than that for $19th$ September
- ✓
Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $7^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $7^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September
The average maximum temp from $12th$ sept to $18th$ sept is $35$ and The average maximum temp from $13th$ sept to $19th$ sept is $34$ then total temp from $12th$ sept to $18th$ sept $= 35 \times 7 = 245$ and total temp from $13th$ sept to $19th$ sept $= 34 \times 7 = 238$ then diff $= 245 - 238 = 7$ so Maximum temperature on $12th$ is $7^\circ $ less than that for $19th$ September. $77$

A boat costs $x$ dollars, and this cost is to be shared equally by a group of people. In terms of $x,$ how many dollars less will each person contribute if there are $4$ people in the group instead of $3?$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{\text{x}}{12}$
If there are three people each pays $\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
if there are four people each pays $\frac{\text{x}}{4}$
the difference $ = \frac{\text{x}}{3} - \frac{\text{x}}{4} = \frac{{4}{\text{x-3x}}}{12} = \frac{\text{x}}{12} $

The mean of three numbers is $40.$ All the three numbers are different natural numbers. If lowest is $19,$ what could be highest possible number of remaining two numbers$?$
AnswerMean of three numbers $= 40$ and lowest number $= 19...[$given$]$
Let the three observations be $19, x$ and $y,$ respectively.
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow40=\frac{19+\text{x}+\text{y}}{3} [ \because$ mean $= 40,$ given$]$
$\Rightarrow3\times40=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow120=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=120-19$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=101\ ...(\text{i})$
Since, $19$ is the lowest observation.
Hence, for highest possible value of remaining two numbers, one must be $20.$
Let $x = 20$
From Eq$.(i),$ we get
$20 + y = 101$
$⇒ y = 101 - 20$
$⇒ y = 81$

The mean of $33, 53, 32, 35, 47$ is:
- ✓
$40$
- B
$56$
- C
$55$
- D
$6^6 -6!$
AnswerGiven observations $33, 53, 32, 35, 47$ no. of observations is $5$ sum of observations is
$33 + 53 + 32 + 35 + 47 = 200$ mean is $\frac{200}{5} = {40}$

Find the mean of the data $10, 15, 17, 19, 20$ and $21:$
AnswerData observations are$: 10, 15, 17, 19, 20$ and $21$
mean $ = \frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Number}}$
mean $ = \frac {10+15+17+19+20+21}{6}$
mean $ = \frac{102}{6} = 17$
Since, the number of observations are even, the median will be the mean of the two middle observations:
median $ = \frac{{3}^{\text{rd}} + {4}^{\text{th}}}{2}$
median $= \frac{{17} +{19}}{2}$
median $= {18}$
