5. The average number of visitors of a library in the first 4 days of a week was 58. The average for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days was 60.If the number of visitors on the 1st and 5th days were in the ratio 7:8 then what is the number of visitors on the 5th day of the library?
Explanation
If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are a, b, c, d & e respectively, then
a + b + c + d = 58 × 4 = 232     ----(i) &
b + c + d + e = 60 × 4 = 240     ----(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), e – a = 8 ---(iii)
Given
a/e=7/8 ---(iv)
So from (iii) & (iv) a=56, e=64

6. An exhibition was conducted for 4 weeks. The number of tickets sold in 2nd work week was increased by 20% and increased by 16% in the 3rd work week but decreased by 20% in the 4th work week. Find the number of tickets sold in the beginning, if 1392 tickets were sold in the last week
Explanation:
let initially A ticket has been sold.
So now in 2nd week 20% increases so
A × $\dfrac{{120}}{{100}}$
In 3rd week 16% increases so
A × $\dfrac{{120}}{{100}}$ × $\dfrac{{116}}{{100}}$
In 4th week 20% decrease so
A × $\dfrac{{120}}{{100}}$ × $\dfrac{{116}}{{100}}$ × $\dfrac{{120}}{{100}}$ = 1392
A = 1250
