Q. 21 A group of three friends, K, L and M, are sitting in a cafe. Their average age is 24 years. Another friend ‘N’ joins the group and the new average age of the group becomes 23 years. If another friend ‘R’, whose age is 2 years more than that of ‘N’, replaces ‘K’, then the average age of L. M, N and R becomes 22.5 years. What is the age of K?
(A) 15 years
(B) 10 years
(C) 12 years
(D) 14 years
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Average of K, L and M = 24
Sum of the age of K, L and M = 24×3 = 72
Average of K, L, M and N = 23
Sum of the age of K, L, M and N = 23×4 = 92
Age of N = 92 – 72 = 10
Age of R = 2 + Age of N = 2 +10 = 12
Average age of L, M, N and R = 22.5 years
Sum of age of L, M, N and R = 22.5×4 = 90
Sum of age of L, M and N = 90 – 12 = 78
Age of K = sum of the age of K, L, M and N – sum of age of L, M and N = 92 – 78 = 14

(D) ₹ 440
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
The ratio of the number of ₹10 and ₹50 notes = 1 : 2
The total number of notes = 12
The number of ₹10 notes = $$\frac{1}{1 + 2} \times 12 = 4
Money from the ₹10 notes = 4×10 = Rs.40
The number of ₹50 notes = 12 – 4 = 8
Money from the ₹50 notes = 8×50 = Rs.400
Total money in the wallet = 40 + 400 = Rs.440
Q. 75 The following table shows the income(in ₹) for a particular month, together with their source, in respect of 5 employees (A, B, C, D and E)
How many employees got more than a total of ₹10,000 as income other than salary?
(A) 1
(B) 4
(C) 3
(D) 2
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Salary of A = 52000
Other income = total – salary
Other income of A = 66000 – 52000 = 14000
Salary of B = 48500
Other income of B = 59000 – 48500 = 10500
Salary of C = 42000
Other income of C = 52000 – 42000 = 10000
Salary of D = 31000
Other income of D = 40000 – 31000 = 9000
Salary of E = 25000
Other income of E = 31700 – 25000 = 6700
∴ 2 employees(A and B) got more than a total of ₹10,000 as income other than salary.
