1) A train covers a distance in 50 min, if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an average. The speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40min will be.
1. Solution::
Time=50/60 hr=5/6hr
Speed=48mph
distance=S*T=48*5/6=40km
time=40/60hr=2/3hr
New speed = 40* 3/2 kmph= 60kmph
2) Vikas can cover a distance in 1hr 24min by covering 2/3 of the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5kmph. The total distance is?
2. Solution::
Let total distance be S
total time=1hr24min
A to T :: speed=4kmph
distance=2/3S
T to S :: speed=5km
distance=1-2/3S=1/3S
21/15 hr=2/3 S/4 + 1/3s /5
84=14/3S*3
S=84*3/14*3
= 6km
3) The average ages of three persons is 27 years. Their ages are in the proportion of 1:3:5.What is the age in years of the youngest one among them.
Sol: Let the age of three persons be x, 3x and 5x

4) The average of 11 numbers is 50. If the average of first 6 numbers is 49 and that of last 6 is 52.Find
the 6th number.
Sol: The total sum of 11 results = 11 * 50 = 550
The total sum of first 6 results = 6 * 49 = 294
The total sum of last 6 results = 6 * 52 = 312
Sixth result = 294 + 312 – 550 = 56
5) The smallest number which when divided by 20, 25, 35, 40 leaves the remainder 6 When divided by 14, 19, 23 and 34 respectively is the difference between divisor and The corresponding remainder is 6.

Sol: 24*1/2 + 43*1/3 + 28*1/4
-- > 4 + 4 + 4 -- > 12
10) 3 . - 4/5 of 5/6 / 4 1/3 / 1/5 – ( 3/10 + 21 1/5 ) is equal to
Sol: 13/4 – 4/5 * 5/6 / 13/3 / 1/5 – ( 3/10 + 106/5 ) (use BODMASRULE)
-- > 13/4 – 4/6 / 13/3 / 1/5 – 215/10 -- > 31/12 / 13/3 * 5 – 215/10
-- > 31/12 / 65/3 – 43/2 -- > 31/12 / 130 – 129/6 -- > 31/12/1/6 = 31/12 * 6/1
-- > 31/2 = 15 1/2
10) 13 sheeps and 9 pigs were bought for Rs. 1291.85.If the average price of a sheep be Rs. 74. What
is the average price of a pig.
Sol: Average price of a sheep = Rs. 74
: . Total price of 13 sheeps
= (74*13) = Rs. 962
But, total price of 13 sheeps and 9 pigs
= Rs. 1291.85
Total price of 9 pigs
= Rs. (1291.85-962) = Rs. 329.85
Hence, average price of a pig
= (329.85/9) = Rs. 36.65
11) A batsman in his 18th innings makes a score of 150 runs and there by increasing his Average by 6.
Find his average after 18th innings.
Sol: Let the average for 17 innings is x runs
Total runs in 17 innings = 17x
Total runs in 18 innings = 17x + 150
Average of 18 innings = 17x + 150/18
: . 17x + 150/18 = x + 6 -- > x = 42
Thus, average after 18 innings = 42
12) The L.C.M of two numbers is 2310 and their H.C.F is 30. If one number is 210 the Other is
The other number
= L.C.M * H.C.F/given number
= 2310*30/210 = 330
13) The average of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers namely 45 and 55 are discarded, The average of
remaining numbers is?
Total of 50 numbers = 50 * 38 = 1900
Average of 48 numbers = 1900-(45+55) / 48
= 1800 / 48 = 37.5
14) Divide 50 in two parts so that the sum of reciprocals is (1/12), the numbers are
1) 20,30
2) 24,36
3) 28,22
4) 36,14
Sol: 1) Let the numbers be x and y then
X+y = 50. ………(i)
1/x + 1/y = 12
1/x + 1/50-x = 1/12..From (i) y = 50 – x
-- > 50-x+x/x(50-x) = 1/12
-- > x2-50x+600 = 0
-- > (x-30) (x-20) = 0

15) Five years ago the average age of a family of 3 members was 27 years. A child has Been born, due to which the average age of the family is 25 years today. What is the Present age of the child?
Sol: Average age of the family of 3 members
5 years ago = 27 years
Sum of the ages of the 3 members now
= (27 + 5) * 3 = 96 years
Average age of the family of 4 members now
= 25 years
Sum of the ages of the 4 numbers now
= 25*4 = 100 years
Age of child = 100 – 96 = 4 years
