Option 2: 73.8

Option 3: 60.5

Option 4: 58.2

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60.5


Solution : According to the question,
Marks of P in geography = 88% of 75 = 0.88 × 75 = 66 marks
Marks of Q in geography = 92% of 75 = 0.92 × 75 = 69 marks
Marks of R in geography = 64% of 75 = 0.64 × 75 = 48 marks
Marks of S in geography = 80% of 75 = 0.80 × 75 = 60 marks
Marks of T in geography = 88% of 75 = 0.88 × 75 = 66 marks
Marks of U in geography = 72% of 75 = 0.72 × 75 = 54 marks
Total marks obtained by all students in Geography = 66 + 69 + 48 + 60 + 66 + 54 = 363
Average marks obtained by students in Geography = $\frac{363}{6}$ = 60.5 
Hence, the correct answer is 60.5.

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.

(13, 14, 54)
(15, 18, 66)

Option 1: (11, 13, 52)

Option 2: (15, 17, 66)

Option 3: (13, 19, 64)

Option 4: (12, 34, 90)

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (13, 19, 64)


Solution : Given:
(13, 14, 54); (15, 18, 66)

Like, (13, 14, 54)→(13 + 14) × 2 = 27 × 2 = 54
(15, 18, 66)→(15 + 18) × 2 = 33 × 2 = 66

Let's check the options –
First option: (11, 13, 52)→(11 + 13) × 2 = 24 × 2 = 48 ≠ 52
Second option: (15, 17, 66)→(15 + 17) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64 ≠ 66
Third option: (13, 19, 64)→(13 + 19) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64
Fourth option: (12, 34, 90)→(12 + 34) × 2 = 46 × 2 = 92 ≠ 90

So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Arbind has 650 kg of wheat. A part of which he sells at 9% profit and the rest at 19% profit to get 15% profit on the whole. What is the quantity (in kg) of wheat sold by Arbind at 9% profit?

Option 1: 260

Option 2: 195

Option 3: 455

Option 4: 390

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 260


Solution : Let the quantity of wheat Arbind sells at 9% profit be $\text{x}$ kg.
The remaining quantity he sells at 19% profit is = $650 - \text{x}$  kg
The profit obtained from selling the first part at 9% profit is = $0.09\text{x}$ kg
The profit obtained from selling the second part at 19% profit is = $0.19(650 - \text{x})$ kg
According to the question,
$0.09\text{x} + 0.19(650 - \text{x}) = 0.15 \times 650$
$⇒0.09\text{x} + 0.19 \times 650 - 0.19\text{x} = 97.5$
$⇒-0.1\text{x} + 123.5 = 97.5$
$⇒-0.1\text{x} = -26$
$\therefore \text{x} = 260$
Hence the correct answer is 260 kg.
