The solutions......

Answer for the first question is 16.

Let the original no. of students to be x and original average age to be A.
When new students join strength goes up by 50% which means no of students is 1.5x.......intial total age is Ax and new total age is Ax + 221 and new avg is (Ax+221)/1.5x which is A-1.

Solving for A we get A=442/x +3....now x is an integer as also A and x>30.. nearest value of x so that 442/x is an integer is x=34...and next value is 52 (442 is a multiple of 2,13 and 17)..putting x=34 we get A=13 +3 =16....

2.
The answer to this one is 370.

For Q 2 .) 360 kaise ???

Hey der kartik itz 370



Solution of second problem
Any number more than 2 digit is divisible by 4 if
last 2 digits are divisible by 4
so in ur case only 14 cases r there where we get
number divisible by 4
ie. 04,12,16,20,24,30,36,40,52,56,60,64,72,76.
out of these number 4 number are having 0 in them so
the total number of combinations are: 6*5*4=120 ---1
n rest 10 case combinations are: 5*5*10= 250 ---2
add 1 & 2
ans= 370


Kewl 1 Anupam... More to come..!!
