teacher took exam for english , average for the entire class was 80 marks . if we say that 10 % of the students scored 95 marks and 20 % scored 90 marks then calcualte average marks of the remaining students of the class .
lets assume that total number of students in class is 100 and required average be x . then from the given statement we can calculate : ( 10 * 95 ) + ( 20 * 90 ) + ( 70 * x ) = ( 100 * 80 ) 70 x = 8000 - ( 950 + 1800 ) = 5250 answer : d x = 75 .

if the farmer sells 75 of his chickens , his stock of feed will last for 20 more days than planned , but if he buys 100 more chickens , he will run out of feed 15 days earlier than planned . if no chickens are sold or bought , the farmer will be exactly on schedule . how many chickens does the farmer have ?
let v denote the volume of feed one chicken consumes per day . then the total volume of feed in stock will be v βˆ— d βˆ— c where d is the number of days the feed will last if the number of chickens does not change and cc is the current number of chickens . from the question it follows that v ( d + 20 ) ( c βˆ’ 75 ) = vdc v ( d βˆ’ 15 ) ( c + 100 ) = vdc the first equation simplifies to 20 c βˆ’ 75 d = 1500 . the second equation simplifies to ( βˆ’ 15 ) c + 100 d = 1500 after dividing everything by 5 we get the linear system : 4 c βˆ’ 15 d = 300 ( βˆ’ 3 ) c + 20 d = 300 solving it we get c = 300 d = 60 answer : e

in a garden , there are yellow and green flowers which are straight and curved . if the probability of picking a green flower is 2 / 3 and picking a straight flower is 1 / 2 , then what is the probability of picking a flower which is yellow and straight
"good question . so we have a garden where all the flowers have two properties : color ( green or yellow ) and shape ( straight or curved ) . we ' re told that 2 / 3 of the garden is green , so , since all the flowers must be either green or yellow , we know that 1 / 3 are yellow . we ' re also told there is an equal probability of straight or curved , 1 / 2 . we want to find out the probability of something being yellow and straight , pr ( yellow and straight ) . so if we recall , the probability of two unique events occurring simultaneously is the product of the two probabilities , pr ( a and b ) = p ( a ) * p ( b ) . so we multiply the two probabilities , pr ( yellow ) * pr ( straight ) = 1 / 3 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 6 , or a ."
