Teacher took exam for English, average for the entire class was 80 marks.

If we say that 10% of

the students scored 95 marks and 20% scored 90 marks then calcualte average marks of the
remaining students of the class.
A. 60
B. 70
C. 75
D. 80
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Lets assume that total number of students in class is 100 and required average be x.
Then from the given statement we can calculate :
(10 * 95) + (20 * 90) + (70 * x) = (100 * 80)
=> 70x = 8000 - (950 + 1800) = 5250
=> x = 75.
Mr. Thomas invested an amount of Rs. 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the
simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple interest
earned in 2 years be Rs. 3508, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
A
.

Rs. 6400

B
.

Rs. 6500

C
.

Rs. 7200

D
.

Rs. 7500

E.

None of these

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the sum invested in Scheme A be Rs. x and that in Scheme B be Rs. (13900 - x).
Then,

x x 14 x 2
100

28x - 22x = 350800 - (13900 x 22)

6x = 45000

(13900 - x) x 11 x 2
100

= 3508

x = 7500.
So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 - 7500) = Rs. 6400.
