The average age of a class of 39 students is 15 years. If the age of the teacher be included, then the average increases by 3 months .Find the age of the teacher.
Options:
(A) 22
(B) 25
(C) 8
(D) 27
(E) 19

Sum of the ages of the students = 3915 = 585
New average = 15 years 3 months = 15 + 1414 year
Sum of the ages of students and teacher = 4015141514 = 40614614 = 610
Teacher age = 610 585 = 25 years. So the answer is: (B).

In what time a sum of money double itself at 8% per annum simple interest?

(A) 33 1/8%
(B) 33 1/3%
(C) 83 1/3%
(D) 33 4/3%
(E) 12 1/2%

P = (P*8*R)/100
R = 12 1/2% So the answer is: (E).

If 17m n = p, then which of the following represents the average (arithmetic mean) of m, n, and p, in terms of m?
Options:
(A) 2m 1
(B) 4m
(C) 6m
(D) m/5
(E) 6m/5
17m - n = p
Add n to both sides:
17m = n + p
Add m to both sides:
18m = n + p + m
Now, divide both sides by 3
6m = (n + p + m)/3 = the average of n, p, and m So the answer is: (C).
