    B 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total weight of x persons = 64 × x = 64x kg Total weight of (x – 20) women = 60 × (x – 20) = 60x – 1200 kg According to the question, 64x = 60x – 1200 + 55x – 1200 + 60x – 2040 64x = 175x – 4440 111x = 4440 x = 40

    Question

    Piyush on his birthday distributed on an average 20 toffees per student. If on the arrival of the teacher and the headmaster to whom Piyush gave 25 and 30 toffees respectively, the average toffee distributed per head increases to 20.5, then what is the number of students among whom the toffees were distributed?

    A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let’s assume that initial number of students be x. ∴ Number of toffees given to x students = 20x After the arrival of teacher and headmaster, total toffees distributed = 20x + 25 + 30 = 20x + 55 Now, the average becomes 20.5, ∴ 20x + 55 = 20.5 × (x + 2) ⇒ 20x + 55 = 20.5x + 41 ⇒ x = 28 ∴ The number of students among whom the toffees were distributed is 28.

    Question
