Let X = {x
$ \in $ N : 1
$ \le $ x
$ \le $ 17} and
Y = {ax + b: x
$ \in $ X and a, b $ \in $ R, a > 0}. If mean
and variance of elements of Y are 17 and 216
respectively then a + b is equal to :
A.
7
B.
9
C.
-7
D.
-27
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Mean of X = ${{\sum\limits_{x = 1}^{17} x } \over {17}}$ = ${{17 \times 18} \over {17 \times 2}}$ = 9
Mean of Y = ${{\sum\limits_{x = 1}^{17} {\left( {ax + b} \right)} } \over {17}}$ = 17

The mean and the standard deviation (s.d.) of
10 observations are 20 and 2 resepectively.
Each of these 10 observations is multiplied by
p and then reduced by q, where p $ \ne $ 0 and
q $ \ne $ 0. If the new mean and new s.d. become
half of their original values, then q is equal to
A.
10
B.
-20
C.
-10
D.
-5
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Let observations are
x1, x2, ...., x10
Here mean = 20 and standard deviation(S.D) = 2
When each of these 10
observations is multiplied by p then new observations are
px1, px2, ....., px10 and new mean = 20p and new standard deviation(S.D) = 2|p|
Now when Reduced by q then new observations are
px1 - q, px2 - q, ....., px10 - q
and new mean = 20p - q and new standard deviation(S.D) = 2|p|
Given 20p - q = ${{20} \over 2}$ = 10
and 2|p| = ${2 \over 2}$ = 1
$ \Rightarrow $ p = $ \pm $ ${1 \over 2}$
If p = ${1 \over 2}$ then q = 0 (not possible as given q $ \ne $ 0)
If p = - ${1 \over 2}$ then q = -20

The mean age of 25 teachers in a school is 40 years. A teacher retires at the age of 60 years and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If now the mean age of the teachers in this school is 39 years, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is :
A.
25
B.
30
C.
35
D.
40
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Mean $\left( {\overline x } \right)$ = ${{{x_1} + {x_2}..... + {x_n}} \over n}$ = ${{\sum x } \over n}$
After retireing of a 60 year old teacher, total age of 24 teachers,
x1 + x2 + . . . . . .x24 = 1000 $-$ 60 = 940
Now a new teacher of age A year is appointed.
$\therefore$ Now total age of this 25 teachers
x1 + x2 + x3 + . . . . . + x25 = 940 + A
$\therefore$ Mean age = ${{940 + A} \over {25}}$
According to question,
${{940 + A} \over {25}}$ = 39
$ \Rightarrow $ A = 35

D.
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Let first n even natural numbers = 2,4, 6, 8 ...... 2n
$\therefore$ Sum of those num = 2 + 4 + 6 + ..... 2n
= 2 (1 + 2 + ..... n)
= $2.{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)} \over 2}$
= n (n + 1)

The average marks of boys in a class is 52 and that of girls is 42. The average marks of boys
and girls combined is 50. The percentage of boys in the class is
A.
80
B.
60
C.
40
D.
20
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Let x and y are number of boys and girls in a class respectively.
$\therefore$ 52x + 42y = 50 (x + y)
$ \Rightarrow$ 52x + 42y = 50x + 50y
$ \Rightarrow$ 2x = 8y
$ \Rightarrow$ x = 4y
$\therefore$ Total no. of students = x + y = 4y + y = 5y
$\therefore$ Percentage of boys = ${{4y} \over {5y}} \times 100\,\% $ = 80%
