Explanation: Total age of players in team = 22 x 11 = 242 When coach is included, total members = 12, Avg age increases by one becomes 23 Total age when coach is included = 23×12 = 276 Age of coach = 276-242 = 34 yrs. Explanation: Let the average bill paid by twenty members = ‘x’ But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70 20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25 20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25 19x = 1330 + 90.25 19x = 1420.25 x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75 But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = A) Rs. 1495 Explanation: Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 – 14 = 12 To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average. Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74. A) 74 Explanation: Let the average expenditure per head be Rs. p Now, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p After joining of 15 more students, the average expenditure per head is decreased by Rs. 3 => p-3 Here, given the expenditure of the mess for (44+15 = 59) students is increased by Rs. 33 Therefore, 59(p-3) = 44p + 33 59p – 177 = 44p + 33 => 15p = 210 => => p = 14 Thus, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p = 44 x 14 = Rs. 616.
