Total Journeys $= 2000 + 1500 + 500$ $= 4000$ meter Total time taken $= 30 + 40 + 10$ $= 80$ minutes Average travel meter per minute $=\dfrac{ 4000}{80}=50$

Question
The average age of a husband and wife 4 years ago at the time of their marriage was 27 years. Now the average age of a husband, wife and a new born child is 21 years. The current age of the child is
4 years
3 years
2 years
1 years

Age of husband and wife 4 years ago $= 27 \times 2 = 54$ years Present age of husband and wife $= 27 + 4 = 31$ years $= 31 \times 2= 62$ years The present total age of husband and wife = 62 years Age of husband and wife and child $= 21 \times 3 = 63$ years So the present age of the child $= 63 - 62 = 1$ year

Question
The average of 11 numbers is 10.8. If the average of the first 6 numbers is 10.4 and the average of the last 6 numbers is 11.5, then the middle number is the sixth.
10.3
12.6
13.5
15.5

Solution
Correct option is 12.6

Average of 11 numbers$= 10.8$ The sum of 11 numbers $= 10.8 \times 11 = 118.8$ Average of first 6 numbers $= 10.4$ Sum of first 6 numbers $= 10.4 \times 6 = 62.4$ The sum of the last 6 numbers $= 11.5 \times 6 = 69.0$ Sixth number = Sum of first 6 numbers + Sum of last 6 numbers - Sum of 11 numbers $= 62.4 + 69.0 - 118.8 = 12.6$

Question
