Problems on Numbers with Solutions

The basic problem with us is, we all are get used to the simple life. We want things appear to be simpler. If we find the question like what will be the value of (2/3)*(1/5)*(3/7)*5, we just solve it in a fraction of seconds. But if we come across the questions like what will be the two third of one fifth of three seventh of five then we just skip to the next question. Where is problem? The problem is with our mindset. All of us keep on telling our minds that these questions are hard. But trust me guys, these are very simple problems to solve. All that you have to do is, to just put your mind on the problem. Here, with this post we are giving you some problems that appears to be harder at first glance but really very simple to solve. These are very important for any competitive exam. All the best and Happy Reading :)


Problems on Ages with Shortcuts

Age, a period of human life measured by years from birth, some people have 15 years, some may have 32 years and some good people like me always have 22 years (of course I am 22 from last 3 years, now don't ask me how). Generally you may get 3 replies when you tried to know anybody's age.
  1. They may tell you their true age.
  2. They may tell you some false and standard age (like me).
  3. Or you may return rubbing your cheek with sad face if the answerer was an unknown girl.
But, the people in our competitive exams are lil different. They wont answer any question in direct manner. Instead of it saying a number, they just will say you some fraction or ratio, or just link their age to their relatives' or friend's age and ask you to guess their age. Ofcourse it sounds irritating. Usually we give a dirty look at the person and let him / her go in their way. But in exams, we don't have any other option except finding their real age. So here are some shortcut techniques to made the process of finding ages easier.We shall discuss the tricks with some examples so that you easily can understand them.

  1. 42
  2. 48
  3. 44
  4. 47
  5. None of these

Answers :

1.  Required average  = 7(1+2+....+21) / 21
                 =  (7/21)X ( (21x22) / 2 )  (because sum of first 21 natural numbers)
                  =  77

2.  Total age of 50 students 
                             =  (30X 13+20 X 12) = 630
                          Average =  630/50 = 12.6 Years

3.  The total of seven numbers = 7X18 = 126
          The total of first 3 and last 3 numbers is = 3 X 14+3 X 19 = 99
          So, the middle number is (126 - 99 ) = 27

4.  Total age of students is 32X16 = 512 Years
     Total age inclusive of teacher = 33X (16+1) = 561
      So, Teacher's age is 561-512 = 49 Yrs
                               There is a shortcut for these type of problems :
                                                    Teacher's age is 16+(33X1) = 49 Years :)

5.  Actual total weight is (20X 58.4 - 56 + 65) = 1177 Kgs
          Actual average weight is 1177/20 = 58.85kgs

6.  Let the average weight of 8 persons be 'x'
      years and the age of the new person be 'y'   years
                         so, (8x - 65 + y) / 8  = x+1.5
                          so, y = 77kgs                   Shortcut : 65 + 8X1.5 = 77kgs

7.  MOn + Tue + wed Temperature  =  3X36.3 = 108.9
        Tue + wed Temperature = 108.9 - 39 = 69.9
         Tue + wed + Thu temperature = 3X36.7 = 110.1
           So, Thursday's temperature = 110.1 - 69.9 = 40.2 degrees C

8.  Total expenditure for the first 3 months = 3X1600 = 4800
      Total expenditure for 4 months = 4X1550 = 6200
           Total expenditure for 5 months = 5X1800 = 9000
           Total expenditure and saving (which is income for one year)
               = 4800 + 6200 + 9000 + 5200 = Rs. 25200
              So, Average monthly income = 25200/12  =  Rs. 2100

9.  Let the original expenditure be Rs.x
     Original average expenditure = X/45
            New average expenditure = (x+39)/52
            So (x/45) - ((x+39) / 52) = 1  so x = 585
               so, original expenditure is Rs 585

10.  The total present age of father and two sons is 3S27 = 81 yrs
           The total present age of sons is (12+5) X 2 = 34Years
           so, present age of father is 81 - 34 = 47 yrs
