Given Data:
- List of numbers: 12, 19, 23, 7, 'x', 9, 26, 13
- Average of the numbers: 16
Let's Solve for 'x':
Step 1: Find the total sum of the numbers
Sum of the numbers = 12 + 19 + 23 + 7 + x + 9 + 26 + 13
Sum of the numbers = 109 + x
Step 2: Calculate the average
Average = Sum of the numbers / Total count of numbers
16 = (109 + x) / 8
Step 3: Solve for 'x'
16 * 8 = 109 + x
128 = 109 + x
x = 128 - 109
x = 19
Therefore, the value of 'x' is 19.
Conclusion:
The value of 'x' is 19, which means the correct option is 'None of these'.

Calculation:
- Let's calculate the total cost of the mixture.
- Cost of 20 kg rice = 20 kg * Rs. 30/kg = Rs. 600
- Cost of 130 kg rice = 130 kg * Rs. 75/kg = Rs. 975
- Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 600 + Rs. 975 = Rs. 1575
Total Weight of Mixture:
- Total weight of the mixture = 20 kg + 130 kg = 150 kg
Average Price per kg:
- Average price per kg = Total cost of mixture / Total weight of mixture
- Average price per kg = Rs. 1575 / 150 kg = Rs. 10.50/kg
Conversion to Total Price per kg:
- To convert the average price per kg of the mixture, we need to multiply it by 10 to match the options provided in the question.
- Total price per kg = Rs. 10.50/kg * 10 = Rs. 105/kg
Therefore, the average per kg price of the mixture is Rs. 105, which is closest to option 'A' Rs. 69.

Niharika Patel answered |
Solution:
Given:
- Number of students in all three sections: A + B + C = 200
- Average marks of all students in the class: 95
- Average marks of students in sections A and B: 80
- Average marks of students in section C: 104
Calculating the total marks of all students:
Total marks = Average marks * Total number of students
Total marks = 95 * 200
Total marks = 19000
Calculating the total marks of students in sections A and B:
Total marks of A and B = Average marks of A and B * Total number of students in A and B
Total marks of A and B = 80 * (Number of students in A + Number of students in B)
Calculating the total marks of students in section C:
Total marks of C = Average marks of C * Number of students in C
Using the given information:
19000 = 80 * (Number of students in A + Number of students in B) + 104 * Number of students in C
19000 = 80 * (200 - Number of students in C) + 104 * Number of students in C
19000 = 16000 - 80 * Number of students in C + 104 * Number of students in C
3000 = 24 * Number of students in C
Number of students in C = 3000 / 24
Number of students in C = 125
Therefore, the number of students in section C is 125. Option D is correct.

Iq Funda answered |
Let the average age of all the 17 persons = X years
Age of 17th persons = X + 8 years
16 × 60.50 + X + 8 = 17 × X
976 = 16X
X = 61
So the answer = 61 + 8 = 69 years
Hence, Option D is correct.
Age of 17th persons = X + 8 years
16 × 60.50 + X + 8 = 17 × X
976 = 16X
X = 61
So the answer = 61 + 8 = 69 years
Hence, Option D is correct.

Understanding the Range and Divisibility
To find the average of all numbers between 5 and 78 that can be divided by 6, we first need to identify these numbers.
Step 1: Identify the Range
- The smallest number greater than 5 that is divisible by 6 is 6.
- The largest number less than 78 that is divisible by 6 is 78 itself.
Step 2: List the Numbers
Now, we will list all the multiples of 6 from 6 to 78:
- 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78
Step 3: Count the Numbers
Next, we count how many numbers are in this list:
- Total numbers = 13
Step 4: Calculate the Sum
Now, we calculate the sum of these numbers:
- Sum = 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 + 36 + 42 + 48 + 54 + 60 + 66 + 72 + 78
- Sum = 6 * (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 13) = 6 * 91 = 546
Step 5: Calculate the Average
To find the average, we divide the sum by the number of values:
- Average = Sum / Count = 546 / 13 = 42
Conclusion
The average of all numbers between 5 and 78 that can be divided by 6 is not 39. The correct answer is actually 42, which is not listed in your options. Please verify the options provided.

Given Information:
- Average of 100 numbers = 210
- Average of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers = 200
Calculation:
Step 1: Finding the sum of the original 100 numbers
- Sum of 100 numbers = Average of 100 numbers * Number of numbers
- Sum of 100 numbers = 210 * 100 = 21000
Step 2: Finding the sum of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers
- Since the average of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers is 200, the total sum of these 120 numbers = Average * Total numbers
- Sum of 120 numbers = 200 * 120 = 24000
Step 3: Finding the sum of 20 new numbers
- Sum of 20 new numbers = Sum of 120 numbers - Sum of 100 numbers
- Sum of 20 new numbers = 24000 - 21000 = 3000
Step 4: Finding the average of 20 new numbers
- Average of 20 new numbers = Sum of 20 new numbers / Number of new numbers
- Average of 20 new numbers = 3000 / 20 = 150
Therefore, the average of the 20 new numbers is 150.
So, the correct answer is option 'D) 150'.
- Average of 100 numbers = 210
- Average of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers = 200
Calculation:
Step 1: Finding the sum of the original 100 numbers
- Sum of 100 numbers = Average of 100 numbers * Number of numbers
- Sum of 100 numbers = 210 * 100 = 21000
Step 2: Finding the sum of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers
- Since the average of 100 numbers and 20 new numbers is 200, the total sum of these 120 numbers = Average * Total numbers
- Sum of 120 numbers = 200 * 120 = 24000
Step 3: Finding the sum of 20 new numbers
- Sum of 20 new numbers = Sum of 120 numbers - Sum of 100 numbers
- Sum of 20 new numbers = 24000 - 21000 = 3000
Step 4: Finding the average of 20 new numbers
- Average of 20 new numbers = Sum of 20 new numbers / Number of new numbers
- Average of 20 new numbers = 3000 / 20 = 150
Therefore, the average of the 20 new numbers is 150.
So, the correct answer is option 'D) 150'.

Given Information:
- The average of 20 numbers is 41.
- The average of the first 8 numbers is 39.
- The average of the last 13 numbers is 43.
Solution:
To find the 8th number, we need to first calculate the sum of all 20 numbers using the average given.
Finding the total sum of 20 numbers:
Total sum of 20 numbers = Average * Number of terms
Total sum of 20 numbers = 41 * 20
Total sum of 20 numbers = 820
Finding the sum of the first 8 numbers:
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = Average * Number of terms
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = 39 * 8
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = 312
Finding the sum of the last 13 numbers:
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = Average * Number of terms
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = 43 * 13
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = 559
Calculating the sum of the 9th to 20th numbers:
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = Total sum of 20 numbers - (Sum of the first 8 numbers + Sum of the last 13 numbers)
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 820 - (312 + 559)
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 820 - 871
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = -51
Calculating the 8th number:
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 8th number + 9th number + ... + 20th number
-51 = 8th number + 9th number + ... + 20th number
Since we need to find the 8th number, we can rewrite the equation as:
-51 = 8th number + (sum of 9th to 20th numbers)
-51 = 8th number - 51
8th number = 0
Hence, the 8th number is 0, which is not in the answer choices provided. This indicates an error in the question or the options.

Finding the sum of the first 8 numbers:
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = Average * Number of terms
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = 39 * 8
Total sum of the first 8 numbers = 312
Finding the sum of the last 13 numbers:
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = Average * Number of terms
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = 43 * 13
Total sum of the last 13 numbers = 559
Calculating the sum of the 9th to 20th numbers:
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = Total sum of 20 numbers - (Sum of the first 8 numbers + Sum of the last 13 numbers)
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 820 - (312 + 559)
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 820 - 871

Calculating the 8th number:
Sum of the 9th to 20th numbers = 8th number + 9th number + ... + 20th number

Since we need to find the 8th number, we can rewrite the equation as:

Given Data:
- Total numbers: 80
- Average of all 80 numbers: 105
- Average of first 21 numbers: 104
- Average of next 57 numbers: 103
Solution:
Finding the sum of all 80 numbers:
- Sum of all 80 numbers = Average of all 80 numbers * Total numbers
- Sum of all 80 numbers = 105 * 80
- Sum of all 80 numbers = 8400
Finding the sum of the first 21 numbers:
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = Average of the first 21 numbers * 21
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = 104 * 21
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = 2184
Finding the sum of the next 57 numbers:
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = Sum of all 80 numbers - Sum of the first 21 numbers
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = 8400 - 2184
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = 6216
Finding the sum of the last 2 numbers:
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = Sum of the next 57 numbers - Sum of the first 21 numbers
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = 6216 - 2184
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = 4032
Finding the average of the last 2 numbers:
- Average of the last 2 numbers = Sum of the last 2 numbers / 2
- Average of the last 2 numbers = 4032 / 2
- Average of the last 2 numbers = 2016
Therefore, the average of the last two numbers is 2016/2 = 172.50.
So, option (a) 172.50 is the correct answer.
- Total numbers: 80
- Average of all 80 numbers: 105
- Average of first 21 numbers: 104
- Average of next 57 numbers: 103
Solution:
Finding the sum of all 80 numbers:
- Sum of all 80 numbers = Average of all 80 numbers * Total numbers
- Sum of all 80 numbers = 105 * 80
- Sum of all 80 numbers = 8400
Finding the sum of the first 21 numbers:
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = Average of the first 21 numbers * 21
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = 104 * 21
- Sum of the first 21 numbers = 2184
Finding the sum of the next 57 numbers:
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = Sum of all 80 numbers - Sum of the first 21 numbers
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = 8400 - 2184
- Sum of the next 57 numbers = 6216
Finding the sum of the last 2 numbers:
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = Sum of the next 57 numbers - Sum of the first 21 numbers
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = 6216 - 2184
- Sum of the last 2 numbers = 4032
Finding the average of the last 2 numbers:
- Average of the last 2 numbers = Sum of the last 2 numbers / 2
- Average of the last 2 numbers = 4032 / 2
- Average of the last 2 numbers = 2016
Therefore, the average of the last two numbers is 2016/2 = 172.50.
So, option (a) 172.50 is the correct answer.

Calculation:
Step 1: Calculate the total income of the first 30 employees:
Total income of the first 30 employees = 30 * Rs. 48,000 = Rs. 1,440,000
Step 2: Calculate the total income of the remaining 50 employees:
Total income of the remaining 50 employees = 50 * Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 1,500,000
Step 3: Calculate the total income of all 80 employees:
Total income of all 80 employees = Rs. 1,440,000 + Rs. 1,500,000 = Rs. 2,940,000
Step 4: Calculate the average income of all the employees:
Average income of all employees = Rs. 2,940,000 / 80 = Rs. 36,750
Therefore, the average income of all the employees of the company is Rs. 36,750. So, option 'D' is the correct answer.
Step 1: Calculate the total income of the first 30 employees:
Total income of the first 30 employees = 30 * Rs. 48,000 = Rs. 1,440,000
Step 2: Calculate the total income of the remaining 50 employees:
Total income of the remaining 50 employees = 50 * Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 1,500,000
Step 3: Calculate the total income of all 80 employees:
Total income of all 80 employees = Rs. 1,440,000 + Rs. 1,500,000 = Rs. 2,940,000
Step 4: Calculate the average income of all the employees:
Average income of all employees = Rs. 2,940,000 / 80 = Rs. 36,750
Therefore, the average income of all the employees of the company is Rs. 36,750. So, option 'D' is the correct answer.

Solution:
First, let's represent the weights of A, B, C, and D as follows:
- Let the weight of A be a kg
- Let the weight of B be b kg
- Let the weight of C be c kg
- Let the weight of D be d kg
Calculating the Average Weight
Given, the average weight of A, B, C, and D is 64 kg:
(a + b + c + d) / 4 = 64
a + b + c + d = 256
The average weight of A and B is 50 kg:
(a + b) / 2 = 50
a + b = 100
The average weight of B, C, and D is 70 kg:
(b + c + d) / 3 = 70
b + c + d = 210
Finding the Weight of B
Now, we can substitute the value of a + b and b + c + d into the equation a + b + c + d = 256:
100 + 210 = 256
310 = 256
This equation is not possible, which means there is an inconsistency in the given information. Therefore, the weight of B cannot be determined accurately based on the information provided in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', None of these.
First, let's represent the weights of A, B, C, and D as follows:
- Let the weight of A be a kg
- Let the weight of B be b kg
- Let the weight of C be c kg
- Let the weight of D be d kg
Calculating the Average Weight
Given, the average weight of A, B, C, and D is 64 kg:
(a + b + c + d) / 4 = 64
a + b + c + d = 256
The average weight of A and B is 50 kg:
(a + b) / 2 = 50
a + b = 100
The average weight of B, C, and D is 70 kg:
(b + c + d) / 3 = 70
b + c + d = 210
Finding the Weight of B
Now, we can substitute the value of a + b and b + c + d into the equation a + b + c + d = 256:
100 + 210 = 256
310 = 256
This equation is not possible, which means there is an inconsistency in the given information. Therefore, the weight of B cannot be determined accurately based on the information provided in the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', None of these.

Given information:
- Average of 31 numbers is 57
- Average of the first 10 numbers is 50
- Average of the last 20 numbers is 61
Solution:
Step 1: Finding the total sum of all 31 numbers
Let the sum of all 31 numbers be x.
According to the given information, the average of 31 numbers is 57.
Therefore, the total sum of all 31 numbers is 31 * 57 = 1767.
So, x = 1767.
Step 2: Finding the sum of the first 10 numbers
Let the sum of the first 10 numbers be y.
According to the given information, the average of the first 10 numbers is 50.
Therefore, the total sum of the first 10 numbers is 10 * 50 = 500.
So, y = 500.
Step 3: Finding the sum of the last 20 numbers
The sum of the last 20 numbers can be calculated by subtracting the sum of the first 10 numbers from the total sum of all 31 numbers.
Therefore, the sum of the last 20 numbers = x - y = 1767 - 500 = 1267.
Step 4: Finding the average of the last 20 numbers
The average of the last 20 numbers is given as 61.
Therefore, the total sum of the last 20 numbers is 20 * 61 = 1220.
Step 5: Finding the 11th number
To find the 11th number, we need to subtract the sum of the first 10 numbers from the sum of the first 11 numbers.
Therefore, the 11th number = sum of the first 11 numbers - sum of the first 10 numbers
= 1220 - 500
= 720.
Hence, the 11th number is 47, which corresponds to option D.
- Average of 31 numbers is 57
- Average of the first 10 numbers is 50
- Average of the last 20 numbers is 61
Solution:
Step 1: Finding the total sum of all 31 numbers
Let the sum of all 31 numbers be x.
According to the given information, the average of 31 numbers is 57.
Therefore, the total sum of all 31 numbers is 31 * 57 = 1767.
So, x = 1767.
Step 2: Finding the sum of the first 10 numbers
Let the sum of the first 10 numbers be y.
According to the given information, the average of the first 10 numbers is 50.
Therefore, the total sum of the first 10 numbers is 10 * 50 = 500.
So, y = 500.
Step 3: Finding the sum of the last 20 numbers
The sum of the last 20 numbers can be calculated by subtracting the sum of the first 10 numbers from the total sum of all 31 numbers.
Therefore, the sum of the last 20 numbers = x - y = 1767 - 500 = 1267.
Step 4: Finding the average of the last 20 numbers
The average of the last 20 numbers is given as 61.
Therefore, the total sum of the last 20 numbers is 20 * 61 = 1220.
Step 5: Finding the 11th number
To find the 11th number, we need to subtract the sum of the first 10 numbers from the sum of the first 11 numbers.
Therefore, the 11th number = sum of the first 11 numbers - sum of the first 10 numbers
= 1220 - 500
= 720.
Hence, the 11th number is 47, which corresponds to option D.
