31.10 yrs ago the average age of all the 25 teachers of college was 45 yrs. 4 yrs ago, a teacher retired
from the post at the age of 60 yrs and was replaced by new teacher whose age was 54 yrs. What is the

120*15000 = 30*x+ 90 *x/3
18,00,000 = 90x+90x/ 3
54,00,000*3 = 180x
X = 30000

64.The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees.
The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures
of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day
?

m+t+w+th=232
t+w+th+fr=240

m-f=8
1=8
8=64
7=56

65.The average price of 100 mobiles in an electronic shop is Rs.27,000. If the highest and
lowest mobiles are sold out then the remaining 98 mobiles average price is 26,400.The cost
of lowest mobile is Rs.18,000.Find the cost of highest mobile price

27000*100 - 26400*98 - 18000 = 94800

66.The average score of a cricket player after 48 innings is 49 and in the 49th innings the
player scores 98 runs. In the 50th innings the minimum number of runs required to increase his
average score by 2runs than what it was before the 50th innings.

48*49=2352
49====98
49 innings total score=2450
Avg. =2450/49=50

52*50=2600
Minimum. Run= 2600-2450=150

67.The average age of a couple was 24 years. After their 1stand 2nd children (twins) were born, the
average age of thefamily became 13.5 years. The average age of the family justafter 3rd child was
born was 13.2 years. The average age ofthe family after 4th child was born was 16 years. The
current average age of the family is 19 years. What is the current age of the twin children?

54-48=6/2=3 twin childs=0

66-54=12/4=3 twin childs=3
90-66=30/5=6 twin childs=9
114-96=18/6=3 finally twin children age=9+3=12

Or
Sum of the ages of the couple = 24 * 2 = 48
After the 1st and 2nd children, sum = 13.5 * 4 = 54
Difference in sum = 54 – 48 = 6 years
Or after 6/ 2 = 3 years, the twin were born to the couple (Ages of children at the time of birth
is 0)

After 3rd child, sum = 13.2 * 5 = 66 yrs

Difference = 66 – 54 = 12
Or after 12/4 = 3 yrs, 3rd child was born (Couple + 2 children were already present. So 4)

After 4th child, sum = 16 * 6 = 96 yrs

Difference = 96 – 66 = 30
Or after 30/5 = 6 yrs, 4th child was born

Current sum = 19 * 6 = 114 yrs

Difference 114 – 96 = 18 yrs
Or after 18/6 = 3 yrs

The gap between the children are as follows: 3 yrs, 6 yrs and 3 yrs
Age of eldest ones = 3 + 6 + 3 = 12
68.The average runs scored by a cricketer is 42 innings, is 40. The difference between his
maximum and minimum scores in an inning is 100. If these two innings are not taken into
consideration, then the average score of remaining 40 innings is 38. Calculate the maximum
runs scored by him in an innings.

Maximum innings=42
Runs=40
Minimum innings =40
Runs=38

Maximum runs *innings differ+minimum innings *run differ

40*2+40+2=160
X+x+100=160
X=30
100+0=130

Aligation

40(42)…………….x(-2)
………..38

38-x=2
38-x/2=42/-2
X=80
Avg. score of 2inngis =80
Total =80*2=160

X+x+100=160
X=130

69. The ratio of ages of Sneha to Bhavna is 6 : 13. Also ratio between Kritika’s age two years
after and Bhavna’s age 4 years after will be 2 : 3. If the average age of Sneha and Kritika is 15
years, what will be Kritika’s age three years hence?

s=6x b=13x
s+k=30
30-6x+2/13x+4=2/3
x=2

k=30-12=18
18+3=21

70. When the couple was married the average of their ages was 25 years. When their first child
was born, the average age of family became 18 years. When their second child was born, the
average age of the family became 15 years. Find the average age of the couple now.
couple=25*2======50
couple +s=18*3====54

means 4 age increase couple=4/2=2

now couple= 27+27

couple+son+little son=15*4=60
means 6 age increase couple +son=6/3=2

couple =27+2=29

or
M+f --50
M+f + x+x +0 = 54
X=2
Again
(M+t)+ (m+t) +x+t +0 = 60
t=2
25+2+2

32.The average marks of Sumit decreased by one, when he replaced the subject in which he has
scored 40 marks by the other two subjects in which he has just scored 23 and 25 marks respectively.
Later he has also included 57 marks of Computer Science, then the average marks increased by two.
How many subjects were there initially?

20. In a class, 25% of the students were absent for an exam. 30% failed by 20 marks and 10% just
passed because of grace marks of 5. Find the average score of the class if the remaining students

23. The average weight of A, B and C is 26 kg. The weight of B is 1/2 times that of A and the weight
