      Question

      There are five numbers β€˜a’, β€˜b’,

      β€˜c’, β€˜d’ and β€˜e’. The average of β€˜b’ and β€˜c’ is 390. The value of β€˜a’ is 40 more than 50% of β€˜d’. The value of β€˜e’ is 80 less than the value of β€˜b’. The value of β€˜d’ is 32 more than the 60% of β€˜e’. The value of β€˜c’ is 140 less than double the value of β€˜e’. As per the above given information, which of the following statements is/are correct? (i) The value of β€˜a’ is the multiple of 7. (ii) The value of β€˜d’ is completely divisible by 12. (iii) 25% of β€˜c’ is equal to 115.
      A Only (ii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only (i) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only (ii) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only (i) and (iii) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The average of β€˜b’ and β€˜c’ is 390.

      (b+c)/2 = 390

      (b+c) = 780

      b = (780-c)Β  Β  Eq.(i)

      The value of β€˜e’ is 80 less than the value of β€˜b’.

      e = b-80

      Put the value of β€˜b’ from Eq.(i) in the above equation.

      e = (780-c)-80

      e = (700-c)Β  Β  Eq.(ii)

      The value of β€˜c’ is 140 less than double the value of β€˜e’.

      c = 2e-140

      Put the value of β€˜e’ from Eq.(ii) in the above equation.

      c = 2(700-c)-140

      c = 1400-2c-140

      c+2c = 1400-140

      3c = 1260

      c = 420

      Put the value of β€˜c’ in Eq.(ii).

      e = (700-420)

      e = 280

      Put the value of β€˜c’ in Eq.(i).

      b = (780-420)

      b = 360

      The value of β€˜d’ is 32 more than the 60% of β€˜e’.

      d = 32 + 60% of e

      Put the value of β€˜e’ in the above equation.

      d = 32 + 60% of 280

      d = 32 + 60% of 280

      d = 32 + 168

      d = 200

      The value of β€˜a’ is 40 more than 50% of β€˜d’.

      a = 50% of d + 40

      Put the value of β€˜d’ in the above equation.

      a = 50% of 200 + 40

      a = 100 + 40

      a = 140

      Now we have the values of β€˜a’, β€˜b’, β€˜c’, β€˜d’ and β€˜e’.

      (i) The value of β€˜a’ is the multiple of 7.

      The value of β€˜a’ is 140 which is the multiple of 7. So the above given statement is correct.

      (ii) The value of β€˜d’ is completely divisible by 12.

      The value of β€˜d’ is 200 which is not completely divisible by 12. So the above given statement is not correct.

      (iii) 25% of β€˜c’ is equal to 115.

      25% of c = 25% of 420 = 105

      So the above given statement is not correct.

      Thus we can say that only statement (i) is correct.
