    Question

    The average of two numbers β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ is 250

    such that they are in the ratio 2:3 respectively. Another number β€˜O’ is 120 more than β€˜N’ and fourth number β€˜P’ is 20% of the β€˜M’. Find the average of β€˜O’ and β€˜P’.
    A 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 230 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 235 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of β€˜M’ and β€˜N’ = 250 Γ— 2 = 500
    Therefore,
    β€˜M’ = 500 Γ— (2/5) = 200
    β€˜N’ = 500 – 200 = 300
    β€˜O’ = 300 + 120 = 420
    β€˜P’ = 0.2 Γ— 200 = 40
    Required average = {(420 + 40)/2} = 230
