\end{aligned}

1. The average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24. Find the largest number.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then
\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)}{4} = 24
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{4x+12)}{4} = 24
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x+3 = 24 => x = 21
\end{aligned}

So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27

2. Average of 10 numbers is zero. At most how many numbers may be greater than zero

Answer: Option D

3. The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was 27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The present age of the husband is

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 * 3 + 3 * 3) years = 90 years.

Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 * 2 + 5 * 2) years = 50 years.

Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years

4. Average of five numbers is 27. If one number is excluded the average becomes 25. The excluded number is

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Number is (5*27) - (4*25) = 135-100 = 35

5. A library has an average of 510 visitors on Sundays and 240 on other day. The average number of visitors in a month of 30 days starting with sunday is

Answer: Option B

\begin{aligned}
= (\frac{510 \times 5 + 240 \times 25}{30})
= (\frac{8550}{30}) = 285
\end{aligned}
