fatema199
The correct option is B 200 The number of ways that it can be done = 5C2*5C3+5C3*5C2=200
1st case 5C1*5C3= 50 2nd case 5C2*5C2=100 & 3rd case 5C1*

piediepie
1st case 5C1*5C3= 50 2nd case 5C2*5C2=100 & 3rd case 5C1*
3rd case 5C3*5C1= 50 .combining all of them is 200.

Consider an office of 45 employees, whose average age is 40 years. ‘x’ new employees join this office, whose average age is ‘y’ years. If it is known that×+y=50,thenwhatcanbethe maximum possible average age of all the employees now?
Let’s take the average age of all the guys, which is (a+b+c+..+d)/45=40. Another is (m+n+...+l)/x=y, where x+y=50 and y=50-x.
Average ages for everyone may be (a+b+c+..+d+m+n+..+l)/(45+x)=>; what is the maximum for that?

[-x2+50x+1800]/(45+x)=> (45*40+x*y)/(45*40+x*(50-x))/(45+x)=(45*40+x*(50-x)) To determine this function’s maximum value, we can utilize the derivative in this case. If we do, it would look something like this: [(-2x+50)*(45+x)-(-x26+50x+1800)]/(45+x)2=0 -x2-90x+450=0 x1=5 (about 4.8), x2=-95, for here we will take 5 since we need a greater value. When we use the previous function, [-x2+50x+1800]/(45+x), the result could be 40.5 or so.)

median has to be even for the 100 consecutive odd integers. only Option C ensures that the result is odd and hence it can’t be the median of set T

2*X+(200-X)*3=480
X=120
Therefore, that would be 120 Children and 80 younger children

its 40 in every sense as least number of boxes are 10

it doesn’t say 10 is included and next term should be 11 but 44 is not there in option so if we do 12*4 it comes ouut to be 48 which could be the answer
