      Question

      The average rainfall in a city for the first 7 days of a

      month is 12 mm per day. To have an average of 20 mm per day over 14 days, what should be the average rainfall in the remaining days?
      A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total rainfall required = 20 × 14 = 280 mm

      Rainfall in 7 days = 12 × 7 = 84 mm

      Required rainfall = 280 - 84 = 196 mm

      Required average rainfall in remaining days = 196 ÷ 7 = 28 mm per day
