ANSWERS

66.D
67.B
68.A
69.D

70.C
SOLUTION 

66.       Total age increased =(8 x 2.5) kg =20 kg.

Sum of ages of two new men = (21 + 23 + 16) years = 60 years.
Average age of two new men = (60 /2) years = 30 years.

67.       Let five consecutive numbers be x, X + 1, X + 2, X + 3 and X + 4.

Their average = 5X + 10 / 5 = (X +2).
Average of 7 numbers = (5X + 10) + (x + 5) +(X +6) / 7 = 7x + 21 / 7 = (x + 3).
So, the average increased by 1.

68.       Let average for 10 innings be X. then,

10x + 108 / 11 = x + 6 11 X + 66 = 10x 108   x = 42.
New average = (x + 6) = 48 runs.

69.       Let the number of wickets taken till the last match is X. then.

12.4x + 26 / X+ 5 = 12      12.4x + 26 = 12x + 60  0,4x = 34  x = 34 / 0. 4 = 340/4 = 85.

70.        Let the total score be x.

X + 92 – 85 / 8 = 84   x + 7 = 672   x = 665.
