120. 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average
age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has
become 45. find the age of seventh person?

Solution: Here the question appear as an easy one, but carried a lot of unwanted sentences
and unwanted datas(i dint mention above) in exam which may confuse u on solving
technique.

Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person
be y.  Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age.

Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and
individual increase their age by 2). hence its average become (6x+12)/6 = 43 (give in
question itself).

So now we can compute x from above equation. (x = 41, 6x = 246)
 Let now we compute y, ((6x+y)/7) = 45, as we have value of x, compute y.

Ans: 69


121. Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran
with average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth
3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after
sunset it got dog. compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it...

Hence d = 22*6 = 132km,

Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier).

Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr

Ans:16.5km/hr.

180) 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be
43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has become 45. find the
age of seventh person?

Solution: Here the question appear as an easy one, but carried a lot of unwanted sentences and
unwanted datas(i dint mention above) in exam which may confuse u on solving technique.

Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person be y.
Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age.

Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and individual
increase their age by 2). hence its average become (6x+12)/6 = 43 (give in question itself).

So now we can compute x from above equation. (x = 41, 6x = 246)

Let now we compute y, ((6x+y)/7) = 45, as we have value of x, compute y.

Ans: 69


181) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran with
average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it
crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog.
compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it...

Hence d = 22*6 = 132km,

Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier).

Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr

Ans:16.5km/hr.

    2 to 20 - 1 six
Similarly upto 59 we utilise six, 5 times

from 60 to 69 (including 66) - 11 times

from 70 to 100 - 3, hence ans = 5+11+3 = 19
