iii) Their corresponding ages 3 years ago = (a-3), (b-3), (c-3), (d-3) & (e-
3) years

www.magme.in Page 3 of 6
So their average age 3 years ago = (a + b + c + d + e - 15)/5 = x ----- (2) Then (x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) + (x + 6)) / 7 = 20.
==> a + b + c + d + e = 5x + 15 or 7x + 21 = 140 or 7x = 119 or x =17.
==> a + b + c + d = 5x + 15 - e ------ (3) Latest number = x + 6 = 23.

51.Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20
Explanation:
Explanation:It is the same as a person with 20 years more age D_ C _A --------(1)
replaces an existing person of the group ( or village)
D>B>C --------(2)
Since the total age of the village having n persons, is being increased from (1) and (2)
by 20 years and the average age of village is being increased by 1 D > B > C > A ---------(3)
year, hence there are total 20 people in the village. Again E _ B _ A
Alternatively : ( n x 42 ) + 20 = ( n x 43 ) But B > A, from (3)So E > D > B > C > A [ Since B is the average
=> n=20 of E and A so it is eqidistant from both E and A]
52.Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 30 60.Answer – B (2 years)
Explanation:Let the fixed expenditure of the hotel be Rs.x and the Explanation – Total age of 5 members, 3 years ago = (17 x 5) years =
variable expenditure ( which is dependent on the guest ) is Rs.y , then
85 years
x + 10y = 600 ---------(1) Total age of 5 members now = (85 + 3 x 5) years = 100 years
x + 20y = 800 ----------(2) Total age of 6 members now = (17 x 6) years = 102 years
10y = 200 Age of the baby = (102 – 100) years = 2 years
y = Rs. 20 and x= 400
Hence the total expenditure when there are 40 guests = 400 + 40 x 20
= 1200
