The sum of the first 3 terms in an AP is 51 and that of the last 3 is 99. If the AP has 11 terms, what is the arithmetic mean of the middle 3 terms? A. 17B. 19C. 21D. 25

Solution The AP can be expressed as a, (a + d), —, (a +10d).The sum of the first 3 terms is (3a + 3d) = 51 and that of the last 3 is (3a + 27d) = 99.Solving these equations, we get a = 15 and d = 2.The arithmetic mean of the 3 terms […]

The measures of two angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the sum of these two measures is equal to the measure of the third angle, find the smallest angle.

Solution: Two angles of triangle= 4x and 5x (let)According to the question.2(4x+ 5x) = 180∘⇒ 18x= 180∘⇒ x = 180∘/18 = 10∘:. The smallest angle= 4x = 4*10 = 40∘Then the answer is 40∘.

The average of marks of 14 student was calculated as 71. But it was later found that the marks of one student had been wrongly entered as 42 instead of 56 and of another as 74 instead of 32. The correct average is :  (1) 67 (2) 68 (3) 69 (4) 71

Solution: According to the question, Total marks = 71* 14= 994 Correct total marks = 994+(56-42) + (32-74) = 994+14-42 = 966 Required average = 966/14 = 69 Then the option is (3) 69

The sum of two numbers is 45. One of the numbers exceeds the other by 9. Find the numbers. (a) 19,28 (b)15,30 (c)18,27 (d)17,28

Solution Let the number be x.Then the other number = x + 9Sum of two numbers = 45According to the question, x + (x + 9) = 45⇒ 2x + 9 = 45⇒ 2x = 45 – 9 (transposing 9 to the R.H.S changes to -9)⇒ 2x = 36⇒ 2x/2 = 36/2 (divide by 2

A natural number, when increased by 12, is the same as 160 times it is reciprocal. Find out the number.

Solution Assume the natural number = xIf the number increased by 12 = x + 12Then,Reciprocal of the number = 1/xAs per the question, we get,x + 12 = 160 times of reciprocal for xx + 12 = 160/ xx( x + 12 ) = 160×2 + 12x – 160 = 0x2 + 20x –

A bus moving at 40 km per hour covers a distance in 6 hours 15 minutes. If it travels the same distance at 50 km per hour how long will it take to cover the distance? 

Solution: Distance = Speed * Time = (40*6 1/4) km = (40*25/4) km = 250km New speed= 50 kmph :. Required time = Distance/Speed = 250/50 = 5 hours Then the answer is 5 hours.
