4
8
12

20 years
25 years
28 years
30 years
Ans.- B Total age of 39 students = (39x15) years = 585 years Average age of 40 persons = 15 years 3 months = 61/4 years Total age of of 40 persons = (61/4) x 40 years = 610 years So, age of the teacher = 610 - 585 years = 25 years
Q9)-The average weight of A, B & C is 45 Kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 Kg and that of B & C be 43 Kg than the weight of B is :
17 kg
20 kg
22 kg
31 kg
Ans.- D 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 equation (ii) & (iii) , we get A+2B+C = 166 ...........(iv) Subtracting equation (i) from equation (iv), we get B = 31, So, B's weight = 31 Kg.
Q10)-A pupil's marks were wrongly entered as 83 instead of 63. Due to that the average marks for the class got increased by half. The number of pupils in the class is :
35
38
40
45
Ans.- C Let there be x pupils in the class. Total increase in marks = (x * 1/2) = x/2. x/2 = (83 - 63) => x/2 = 20 => x = 40.

There once lived a shrewd shopkeeper named Makarand. He had a friend, Mihir, who had saved a lot of money. Now, Mihir was keen to go on a pilgrimage, but did not know whom to trust with his precious savings. So he came to Makarand’s shop and said, “Friend, please look after my life’s savings till I return.” Makrand pretended to think seriously and said,”No moneyspoilsrelationships. What if something happens to it when you are not here? You will no longer be my friend.” As Mihir stood there thinking about this, an old woman entered the shop and bought some things. One of the shopboys gave her less change than he should have. Makarand saw this and pretended to scold the boy, ordering him to return the remaining money to the woman. Mihir, unaware this was an act to make him believe in Makrand’s honesty, said,”I have decided. I will leave the money only with you.” Makarand smiled. “Let’s take the bag of coins and bury it in a place that only you and I know of. So, even if something happens to me when you are gone, you will know where your money is. “Mihir thought this was a good idea and the two went and hid the bag in a secreat place. Mihir left the next day on his pilgrimage, happy his savings were in safe hands. Six months later, he returned, dumped his luggage at home and went to recover his money. Although he searched high and low, there was no signof the bag. In panic, he ran to Makarand, who was busy at his shop. When Mihir asked him about the bag, Makarand pretended to be surprised. “But I haven’t been that way in all these months. Why don’t you search for it again?” he said, putting on his most innocent look. Mihir had no choice and sadly, he made his way home. On the way, he met the old woman he had seen in Makarand’s shop. At the sight of his sad face, she asked him what the matterwas. Mihir told her the whole story. Then she smiled and whispered a plan to him. The next day, the the woman came to Makarand’s shop, carrying a big box. “I heard you are a good and honest man. My son went on pilgrimage many months ago and has still not returned. I am worried and have decided to go look for him. Will you look after my box of two hundred gold coins while I am away?” Makarand could not believe his luck. He was about to become rich at the expense of the old woman. He was about to launch into his idea about hiding the box, when an angry Mihir entered the shop. “Where is ……” But before he could complete his sentence, Makarand, afraid of being accused in front of the old woman, said quickly.” I forgot. I had seen some pigs digging around there and had removed your bag to keep it safe.” And he handed Mihir the bag he had stolen many months ago. Now the old woman pretended she was seeing Mihir for the first time. “Son, did you also go on a pilgrimage? Tell me, did you meet my son anywhere?” Mihir, clutching his precious bag, replied, “Yes, Aunty. I met him on his way home. He should be here in a week.” Hearing this the old woman took her box away from Makrand. “Thank you, you have saved me an unnecessarytrip. Now I will use the money to prepare for my son’s welcome!” And the two departed, leaving Makrand staring open mouthed.
