In a class of 40 students, the ratio of boys and girls is 3 : 2 and the average marks scored by boys is 42 and by girls is 46. Then the average marks scored by the whole class is: (1) 43.4 (2) 43.6 (3) 43.8 (4) 44 |
(2) 43.6 | 1. Let the number of boys be 3x and girls be 2x, where 3x + 2x = 40 ⇒ x = 8. 2. Then, boys = 24 and girls = 16. 3. Total marks for boys = 24 × 42 = 1008. 4. Total marks for girls = 16 × 46 = 736. 5. Average marks for the class: Average = (1008 + 736) / 40 = 43.6 |
The sum of three numbers is 136. If the ratio between the first number and the second number is 2 : 3 and that between the second and the third number is 5 : 3, then the first number is: (1) 42 (2) 40 (3) 36 (4) 32 |
(2) 40 | 1. Let the three numbers be 2y, 3y, and 3z. 2. Since 3y = 5z, y = (5z) / 3. 3. Substitute in the sum equation: 2y + 3y + 3z = 136 ⇒ 10z / 3 + 3z = 1364. Solving gives z = 24 and y = 40, so the first number is 40. |
