  3. If a, b, c, d, e are five consecutive odd numbers, their average is
    1. 5(a + 4)
    2. abde/5
    3. 5(a + b + c + d + e)
    4. a + 4
    Answer: Option D.
    b = a + 2
    c = b + 2 = a + 4
    d = c + 2 = a + 6
    e = d + 2 = a + 8
    Therefore, Required average = (a + a + 2 + a + 4 + a + 6 + a + 8)/5
    = a + 4
  4. The average of 20 numbers is 15 and the average of first five is 12. The average of the rest is
    1. 16
    2. 15
    3. 14
    4. 13
    Answer: Option A.
    If the average of remaining numbers be x, then
    20 × 15 = 5 × 12 + 15x
    ⇒ 300 = 60 + 15x
    ⇒ 15x = 300 – 60 = 240
    => x = 240/15 = 16

    4. 12.8
    Answer: Option B
    If the total journey be x km, then
    2x/15+9x/20+10=x
    =>x-2x/15-9x/20=10
    => 60x-8x-27x/60=10
    => 25x/60=10
    => X=60*10/25=24km
