[ "183.22", "184.96", "181.43", "185" ]
C
(sum of the 20 weights)/20 = 180 sum of the 20 weights = 3600 new sum = 3600 + 210 = 3810 new average = 3810/21 = 181.43 ans: D

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 62 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?
[ "64 degrees", "66 degrees", "128 degrees", "67 degrees" ]

Explanation: Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1) Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (62 * 4) = 248 degrees ....(2) Subtracting (1) From (2), we get : Temp, on 5th day - Temp on 1st day = 16 degrees.

Original distance between S and H = 40 miles. Speed of S = 5+1 = 6 mph, Speed of H = 5 mph. Time traveled by H = t hours ---> time traveled by S = t+24/60 = t+2/5 hours. Now, the total distances traveled by S and H = 40 miles ---> 6*(t+2/5)+5*t=40 ---> t= 188/55 hours. Thus H has traveled for 188/55 hours giving you a ...
