Answer : 3. "Either b alone or a & b follows"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Either b alone or a & b follows Explanation: From statement (b)Average of 11 players = 11 x 28 = 308Average of 10 players = 10 x 27.3 = 273Age of captain = 308 - 273 = 35. From the Statement (a) we can say that captain's age (C) = y + 11 ...(1) where y-youngers ageFrom the statement (c),the averge age of 3groups of 3players each was given,It means total 9 players age was given indirectly,1st group: 25 x 3 = 752nd group: 28 x 3 = 843rd group: 30 x 3 = 90Total is 75 + 84 + 90 = 249Now {C + Y + (9 players age sum)}/11 = 28Y + 11 + Y + (249) = 28 x 11=3082Y+260=3082Y = 308-260 = 40 ==> Y=24 ==> C(captain's age)= Y+11 = 24+11 = 35 Therefore, statement b alone or a & c only is the answer.

Answer : 2. "50"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 50 Explanation: Sony and her brother's age sum is 31Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'.Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31x-15 + 3x-30 = 1554x-45 = 1554x = 200x = 50So, Mother's age = 50. Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 710 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24 Sum = 24 + 7 = 31.

Answer : 2. "B"
Explanation :
Answer: B) B Explanation: The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most New Yorkers are interested in this work. There is no support for choice e either.
