Question

33. Siddhartha has earned an average of 4200 dollars for the
first eleven months of the year. If he justifies his staying
on in the US on the basis of his ability to earn at least
5000 dollars per month for the entire year, how much
should he earn (in dollars) in the last month to achieve
his required average for the whole year?
(a) 14,600 (b) 5,800 (c) 12,800 (d) 13000
(e) 13,800

Answer 1

Answer:

The question says that sidharth has said to the US govt that he earns 5000 dollars a month. But for this year he earned an average of 4200 dollars in the first 11 months

I.e. total amount earned in 11 months =

4200 x 11 = 46200

Amount he said he earns = 5000 a month

I.e total amount he should be earning in 12 months =

5000 x 12 = 60000

Now therefore in order to complete the deficit, in the last month he must earn

=60000-46200

=13800 dollars

Answer 2

Option e) 13800 is the correct answer.

Siddhartha should earn 13800 dollars in the last month.

Given:

Siddhartha earns an average of 4200 dollars for the

first eleven months of the year

To Find:

The amount which Siddhartha should earn (in dollars) in the last month.

Solution:

Siddhartha Earned money in 11 months = Average * 11

= 4200 ×11

=46200 dollars.

Siddhartha's ability to earn at least 5000 dollars per month for an entire year

= 5000 × 12

=60000 dollars.

The amount which Siddhartha should earn (in dollars) in the last month

= (Siddhartha's ability to earn at least 5000 dollars per month )- (Siddhartha Earned money in 11 months)

= 60000 - 46200

=13800 dollars.

Therefore, The amount which Siddhartha should earn (in dollars) in the last month to achieve his required average for the whole year is 13800 dollars.

Option e) 13800 is the correct answer.
