Reasoning: Minimum age = Average - 1 Standard deviation = 35 - 30 = 5
Maximum age = average + 1 Standard deviation = 35+ 30 = 35
Maximum number of different ages of the applicants = 35- 5 + 1 = 31
Ans: (C)
Question: The average age of applicants for a new job is 35, with a standard deviation of 30. The hiring manager is only willing to accept applicants whose age is within one standard deviation of the average age. Assuming that all applicants' ages are integers and that the endpoints of the range are included, what is the maximum number of different ages of the applicants?
Options:
(A) 8
(B) 16
(C) 31

Options:
(A) 22

Reasoning: Speed downstream = d/t = 95/(2 1/2) = 38 kmph
Speed upstream = d/t = 45/(2 1/2) = 18 kmph
The speed of the stream = (38 - 18)/2 = 10 kmph
Ans: (A)
Question: A man rows his boat 95 km downstream and 45 km upstream, taking 2 1/2 hours each time. Find the speed of the stream?
Options:
(A) 10 kmph
(B) 6 kmph
(C) 5 kmph
(D) 8 kmph
(E) 7 kmph

Reasoning: 1 to 9 = 9 * 9 = 81
1 to 5 = 5 * 10 = 50
5 to 9 = 5 * 8 = 40
5th = 50 + 40 = 90 81 = 9
Ans: (A)
Question: The average of 9 observations was 9, that of the 1st of 5 being 10 and that of the last 5 being 8. What was the 5th observation?
