2. A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?
1. 4800
2. 4991
3. 5004
4. 5000

Answer & Explanation

Answer:- 2

Explanation :-

Let the Sixth Sale be  Rs. x
Required Average = Rs. 6500
(6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562 + x ) / 6 = 6500
(6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562 + x ) = 6500 * 6
(6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562 + x ) = 39000
x = 39000 – 34009 =  4991

5. The average monthly income of A and B is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of B and C is Rs. 6250 and the average monthly income of A and C is Rs. 5200. What is the monthly income of A?
1. 2000
2. 3000
3. 4000
4. 5000

Answer & Explanation

Answer:- 3

Explanation :-

P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400
By adding these
P + Q + Q + R + P + R = 10100 + 12500 + 10400
2(P + Q + R) = 33000
P + Q + R = 16500
we know Q + R = 12500
Therefore   P = 16500 – 12500 = 4000
