  3. Q3 · Average

    The average of 6 numbers is 45. If one number 60 is excluded, what is the average of the remaining numbers?

    • A. 42
    • B. 43
    • C. 44
    • D. 40
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Total of 6 numbers = 6 × 45 = 270. After excluding 60, remaining sum = 270 - 60 = 210. Average of 5 numbers = 210/5 = 42.

  4. Q4 · HCF and LCM

    The LCM of two numbers is 180 and their HCF is 15. If one number is 45, what is the other number?

    • A. 50
    • B. 60
    • C. 75
    • D. 90
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using the relation: Product of two numbers = LCM × HCF. So 45 × other = 180 × 15. Other number = 2700/45 = 60.

  5. Q5 · Statistics

    Find the average of the following numbers: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36.

    • B. 24
    • C. 26
    • D. 28
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Average = (12 + 18 + 24 + 30 + 36) ÷ 5 = 120 ÷ 5 = 24.

  6. Q6 · Algebra

    If (x + y) = 12 and xy = 32, then what is the value of (x² + y²)?

    • A. 72
    • B. 80
    • C. 88
    • D. 96
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using the identity (x + y)² = x² + y² + 2xy, we get 144 = x² + y² + 64, so x² + y² = 80.
