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 : 1. "2 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2 lit Explanation: Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.   After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.   Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72    Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.

Answer : 1. "2893"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2893 Explanation: For solving this problem first we would break the whole range in 5 sections 1) From 1 to 9Total number of zero in this range = 0 2) From 10 to 99Total possibilities = 9*1 = 9 ( here 9 is used for the possibilities of a non zero integer) 3) From 100 to 999 - three type of numbers are there in this range a) x00 b) x0x c) xx0 (here x represents a non zero number)Total possibilities for x00 = 9*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*2 = 18for x0x = 9*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81similarly for xx0 = 81 total zeros in three digit numbers = 18 + 81 +81 = 180 4) From 1000 to 9999 - seven type of numbers are there in this rangea)x000 b)xx00 c)x0x0 d)x00x e)xxx0 f)xx0x g)x0xxTotal possibilities for x000 = 9*1*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*3 = 27 for xx00 = 9*9*1*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for x0x0 = 9*1*9*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162for x00x = 9*1*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for xxx0 = 9*9*9*1 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for xx0x = 9*9*1*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for x0xx = 9*1*9*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729total zeros in four digit numbers = 27 + 3*162 + 3*729 = 2700thus total zeros will be 0+9+180+2700+4 (last 4 is for 4 zeros of 10000)= 2893
