    • (A) 10,000

    • (C) 13,000
    • (D) 14,000
    Check Answer
    • (D) 12,000
    Explanation
  • Solution: Given that the current salary is 60,000, the increment is one-fifth of that salary.
  • To compute it, we have 60,000 ÷ 5 = 12,000. Thus, the salary increment is 12,000.
  • If we add this increment to the original salary, we get 60,000 + 12,000 = 72,000.
  • However, what is asked is the increment, which is 12,000.

    • (B) 9/120
    • (C) 9/135
    • (D) 9/121
    Check Answer
    • (A) 9/125
    Explanation
  • Solution: Let’s do this step by step.
  • We are given the expression: (1/10) × (3/5) × (6/5).
  • Step 1: Multiply the numerators: 1 × 3 × 6 = 18.
  • Step 2: Multiply the denominators: 10 × 5 × 5 = 250.
  • Therefore, the expression becomes 18/250.
  • Step 3: Simplify the expression: Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2: 18/2 = 9, 250/2 = 125.
  • Therefore, the expression becomes 9/125.
  • Correct answer: (9/125)

    When  a student weighing 45 kg left a class, the average weight of the remaining 59 students increased by 200 g. What is the average weight of the remaining 59 students?

    • (A) 56
    • (B) 57
    • (C) 58
    • (D) 59
    Check Answer
    • (B) 57
    Explanation
  • Solution: Increase in average = 200 g = 0.2 kg
  • Number of remaining students = 59
  • Weight of the student who left = 45 kg
  • Formula:
  • Weight of the student who left = New average – Increase x Number remaining
  • Intuitive formula:
  • New average = Weight of the student who left + Increase x Number remaining
  • x = 45 + (0.2 x 59)
  • = 45 + 11.8
  • = 56.8 ≈ 57
