SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 8

In a club, there are 12 wrestlers. When a wrestler, whose weight is 90 kg, leaves the club, he is replaced by a new wrestler. Then, the average weight of this 12-member club increases by 0.75 kg. What is the weight (in kg) of the new wrestler who joins the club?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 8
Let the original average be a and original weight of 12 members be W.

Then, W = 12a --- (i) (Total = Average × Number of people)

Let weight of new person be x.

Then, after person leaves and new one joins,

W - 90 + x = 12a + 0.75 × 12 --- (ii)

Putting value of 12a from (i), we get:

W - 90 + x = W + 0.75 × 12

-90 + x = 0.75 × 12

x = 90 + 9

x = 99 kg 108

The total number of white balls and pink balls is five times the number of blue balls and the total number of pink balls and blue balls are twice the number of white balls. If there are 33 pink balls, then find the total number of balls in the bag.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 23

Given:

The total number of white balls and pink balls is five times the number of blue balls.

The total number of pink balls and blue balls is twice the number of white balls.

There are 33 pink balls.

Calculation:

Let W, P and B are the numbers of white balls, pink balls and blue balls.

According to the question,

The number of pink balls, P = 33

⇒ W + P = 5B

⇒ W + 33 = 5B ----(1)

⇒ P + B = 2W

⇒ 33 + B = 2W

⇒ B = 2W - 33 ----(2)

Now, substitute the equation (2) in equation (1).

⇒ W + 33 = 5(2W - 33)

⇒ W + 33 = 10W - 165

⇒ 9W = 198

⇒ W = 22

Substitute the above value in equation (1).

⇒ 22 + 33 = 5B

⇒ 5B = 55

⇒ B = 11

Therefore,

The number of blue balls = 11

The total number of balls in the bag = 33 + 22 + 11 = 66

∴ The required answer is 66.

A batsman scored 84 runs in his 12th innings, thereby improving his average score per innings by 4 runs. What is the average score per innings of the batsman after the 12th innings?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 24

Given:

The batsman scored 84 runs in his 12th innings, thereby improving his average score per innings by 4 runs.

Concept used:

Total = Average × Number of entities

Calculation:

Let the average of the batman in the first 11 innings be N.

Total run scored by the batsman in the first 11 innings = 11 × N = 11N

Total run scored by the batsman in all 12 innings = 11N + 84

New average score after 12th innings = N + 4

According to the question,

(11N + 84)/12 = (N + 4)

⇒ (11N + 84) = (N + 4) × 12

⇒ 11N + 84 = 12N + 48

⇒ 12N - 11N = 84 - 48

⇒ N = 36

Now, N + 4 = 36 + 4

⇒ 40

∴ 40 is the average score per innings of the batsman after the 12th innings.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 26

If x (x + y + z) = 30, y (x + y + z) = 64, z (x + y + z) = 50, then find the value of 2(x + y + z), where x, y, z > 0.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 26

Given:

x(x + y + z) = 30 -----(1)

y(x + y + z) = 64 -----(2)

z(x + y + z) = 50 -----(3)

Where x, y, z > 0.

Calculation:

By adding the equations (1), (2), and (3) we get

[x (x + y + z)] + [y (x + y + z)] + [z (x + y + z)] = 144

Taking (x + y + z) common,

⇒ (x + y + z) (x + y + z) = 144

⇒ (x + y + z)2 = 144

⇒ (x + y + z) = 12

Multiplying 2 on both sides,

⇒ 2 (x + y + z) = 24

∴ The value of 2(x + y + z) is 24.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 27

A train 225 m long is running at a speed of 145 km/hr. What is the time (in seconds) in which it will pass a man who starts from the engine running at the speed of 17 km/hr in the direction opposite to that of the train?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 27

Given:

Length of the train = 225 m

Speed of the train = 145 km/h

Speed of the man = 17 km/h

Concept used:

Time = Distance/speed

Relative speed = When two objects move opposite to each other then their relative speed is equal to the sum of their individual speeds.

When a train of x m crosses a man or a pole then it will cross its own length.

km/h × 5/18 = m /sec

Calculation:

Relative speed of the train in km/h = 145 + 17

⇒ 162 km/h

Relative speed of the train in m/sec = 162 × 5/18

⇒ 45 m/sec

According to the concept, the train will cover its own length

So, time = 225/45

⇒ 5 sec

Time taken by the train to cover the man = 5 sec

∴ In 5 sec it will pass the man.

If (x + 1) ∶ (x + 5) ∶∶ (x + 17) ∶ (x + 53) then what is the mean proportional between (x + 5) and (9x – 1) where x > 0?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 28

Given:

(x + 1) ∶ (x + 5) ∶∶ (x + 17) ∶ (x + 53)

Concept used:

Mean proportion of two numbers x and y = √(x × y)

Calculation:

Here,

(x + 1)/(x + 5) = (x + 17)/(x + 53)

⇒ x2 + 53x + x + 53 = x2 + 17x + 5x + 85

⇒ x2 + 53x + x - x2 - 17x - 5x = 85 - 53

⇒ 32x = 32

⇒ x = 32/32

⇒ x = 1

Now,

(x + 5) and (9x – 1) = (1 + 5), (9 × 1 - 1)

⇒ 6, 8

Now,

mean proportion = √(6 × 8)

⇒ √48

⇒ 4√3

∴ Required mean proportion is 4√3.

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ {4 × {3 × 4 ÷ (- 4) + 6}}]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ {4 × {3 × (- 4/4) + 6}}]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ {4 × {3 × (- 1) + 6}}]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ {4 × {- 3 + 6}}]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ {4 × 3}]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - [3 ÷ 12]

⇒ 36 ÷ 24 - (1/4)

⇒ 3/2 - 1/4

⇒ (6 - 1)/4

⇒ 5/4

⇒ 1.25

So, this is lies in between 1 and 1.3

∴ Required answer is Option B.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 30

How much water should be added to 90 ml of a 38% sugar solution so that it becomes a 17.1% sugar solution?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 3 - Question 30

Given:

Total quantity of the initial mixture = 90 ml

Sugar percentage = 38%

Sugar percentage of the new mixture = 17.1%

Calculation:

In the mixture of 90 ml amount of sugar = 90 × 38%

⇒ 34.2 ml

Now, % of the sugar in the new mixture becomes 17.1

According to the question,

In the new mixture 34.2 ml of sugar = 17.1% of the mixture [∵ We added water so amount of sugar will unchanged]

So, 17.1% = 34.2

⇒ 1% = 2

⇒ 100% = 200

So, total quantity of new mixture = 200 ml

Water added = 200 - 90

⇒ 110 ml

∴ Required amount of water to be added is 110 ml.
