A person travels from x to y at a speed of 40 km/h and returns by increasing his speed by 50%. What is his average speed for both trips?
A. 36km/h
B. 45km/h
C. 48km/h
D. 50km/h

View Answer
C. 48km/h

Speed of person from x to y =40 km/h

Speed of person from y to x =(40×150)/100 = 60km/h

Since the distance travelled is the same

Therefore, Average Speed = (2x40x60)/40+60 = 48km/h

The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is___________?

The average weight of A, B, and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B is 40 kg and that of B and C is 43 kg, then the weight of B is___________?
A. 17 kg
B. 20 kg
C. 26 kg
D. 31 kg

View Answer
D. 31 kg

Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have: A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 …. (i) A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 …. (ii) B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ….(iii) Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 …. (iv) Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31. B’s weight = 31 kg

If the average marks of three batches of 55, 60, and 45 students respectively 50, 55, 60, then the average marks of all the students is__________?

If the average marks of three batches of 55, 60, and 45 students respectively 50, 55, 60, then the average marks of all the students is__________?
A. 53.33
B. 54.68
C. 55
D. None of these

View Answer
B. 54.68

Required average = (55 x 50 + 60 x 55 + 45 x 60) / (55 + 60 + 45)
= (2750 + 3300 + 2700) /160
= 54.68 is correct Answer

Suppose Arif can read 39 pages of a book in half an hour. How long will It take her to finish a book that is 1287 pages?

A. 16 Hours
B. 16.5 Hours
C. 17 Hours
D. 15.5 Hours

View Answer
B. 16.5 Hours

Arif can Read 39 pages in 30 minutes.
How much time is required to read 1287 pages?
39 page read time = 30 minute
01 page read time=30/39=0.76923 minute
1287 pages read time=0.769*1287=990 minute
990 conversion into hours = 990/60 = 16.5 Hours

Another Simple Explanation:

39 pages for a half hour equals 78 pages per hour and if the book has 1287 pages then 1287 pages divided by 78 pages per hour gives you 16.5.
