Pocket money of B2 is 5.25 per cent less than the pocket money of B5. II. Pocket money of B4 is 6.25 per cent less than the pocket money of B5. III. Average pocket money of all the six boys is Rs. 2262.5 Correct Answer Only II
Given:
The pocket money of B1 = 1850
The pocket money of B2 = 2075
The pocket money of B3 = 2800
The pocket money of B4 = 2250
The pocket money of B5 = 2400
The pocket money of B6 = 1600
Concept:
The average = (The total sum of all items)/(The total number of items)
The gain marks percentage = {(The again marks)/(The total number of marks)} × 100
Calculation:
For statement l
⇒ The required % = {(2400 - 2075)/2400} × 100 = 0.1354 × 100 = 13.54%
⇒ Hence, statement l is wrong
For statement ll
⇒ The required percentage = {(2400 - 2250)/2400} × 100 = 0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%
⇒ Hence, statement ll is correct
For statement lll
⇒ The average = (1850 + 2075 + 2800 + 2250 + 2400 + 1600)/6 = 12975/6 = 2162.5
⇒ Hence, statement lll is incorrrect
∴ The required result will be "Only ll".
