Given that the batting average for 27 innings of a cricket player is 47 runs
And, The batting average for 25 innings is 42 runs (High and low scores
excluded) Also, His highest score (H) in an innings exceeds his lowest score
(L) by 157 runs or, H – L = 157
Now, for total runs in those two
innings, (H + L) = 47 × 27 – 42
×25
or, (H + L) = 219 runs
Adding the two equations, we
get So, 2H = 219 + 157
or, H = 188 runs
Hence, the answer is 188 runs.

2.
Given, Dimensions of rectangular solid are 88 cm, 63 cm, 42
cm Radius of each lead shot = (8.4/2) = 4.2 cm
Let N number of shots can be obtained.
According to the question,
N * (4π * 4.2^2 / 3) = 88 * 63 * 42
or, N * (4/3 * 22/7 * 4.2^2) = 88 *
63 * 42 or, N = 750
Hence, the answer is 750.

3.
Given, the two numbers are in the ratio 6

Let's denote the total runs scored in the nine innings by the batsman as T. The average score
in these nine innings is given as 58.
Average = T / Number of
Innings For the first nine
innings: 58 = 9T T = 58 × 9 =
522
Now, the batsman wants to have an average of 61 after ten innings. Let R be the runs he
needs to make in the tenth inning to achieve this average.
The total runs after the tenth inning will be (T+R), and the total number of innings will
be 10. The new average is given by: New Average = (T+R) / Number of Innings
61 = (522+R) / 10
R = 88
Hence, the correct answer is 88.

Hence, the correct answer is (1/2)(9Л3 - 11/7) units^2.

10.
Let the sum be x.
Simple interest = x + 360
We know that, Simple interest = (Principal × rate × time) / 100
➙ x + 360 = x × 25 × 6 / 100
➙ 2x + 720 = 3x
x = 720
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 720.

11.
Given: The difference between the cost price and selling price = Rs.
1200 The difference of percentage between the cost price and selling
price = 15% Therefore, Both the differences are equal.
Thus, 15/100 = 1200
Therefore, Cost price = Rs. 8000
Selling price = cost price + profit = 8000 + 1200 =
9200 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 9200.

12.
LCM of 3, 4, 5, and 7 is 420
For a number to be divisble by 2, 4, 5 and 7, the number shold be divisible by
420. Now, on dividing 35460 by 420, we get 180 as the remainder
So,the required number should be added to get the next multiple of 420 = 420 - 180
= 240
The required number is 240.

remainder. Let the number be 363x+17
The number = 33x(11)+1(11)
+ 6 The number =
(11)(33x+1) + 6
So, the remainder when the given number is divided by
11 is 6. Hence, the answer is 6.

15.
Given, a can of mixture of water and milk containing 60% milk.
Then, a part of this mixture is replaced by another mixture containing 50%
milk. The percentage of milk is found to be 52%.
➙ The ratio of the original solution that has 60% milk concentration to the solution that
has 50% milk concentration = 2 : 8 = 1 : 4
Now, the quantity is replaced,
➙ 1 – 1 / (1 + 4)
➙ 4/5
Hence, the correct answer is 4/5.

16.
Let the cost price be CP, the selling price be SP, and the marked price be
MP. Let the MP be 100.
Successive discount of 10% and 20% = 10 + 20 - (10 × 20)/100 = 28%
➙ SP = 100 – 28 = 72
Given: SP = 144% of CP ➙ 72 = (144/100) × CP
CP = 50
If the shopkeeper sells at a 15% discount on
MP, then SP = 100 – 15% = 85
➙ Profit = (SP–CP)/CP × 100 = (85-50)/50 × 100 = 70
Hence, the correct answer is 70%.

17.
Time(T₁ ) = 7
years Time(T₂
) = t years
Case I: Let the principal be x. So, Amount after 7 years = 2x. Simple interest = Amount –
Principal. (2x – x = x) Interest = Principal. So, x = (x × R × 7)/100. R = 100/7%
Case II: Amount = 5x. Interest = 5x – x = 4x. Interest = 4 × Principal. So, 4x = (x × (100/7) ×
t)/100. t = 4 × 7 = 28
Hence, the correct answer is 28.
