Answer - 11 : -


⇒ 14 (24 + k) = 360 + 10k
⇒ 336 + 14k = 360 + 10k
⇒ 14k- 10k- 360 -336 24
⇒ 4k = 24
⇒ k= 24/4 = 6 
Hence k = 6

Answer - 12 : -

Mean =25
 
⇒ 25 (14 + k) = 390 + 15k
⇒ 350 + 25k= 390 + 15k
⇒ 25k- 15k = 390 -350
⇒ 10k = 40 ⇒ k = 40/10 = 4
Hence k = 4

Answer - 13 : -


⇒ 460 + 7p = 32 (18.75)
⇒ 460 + 7p = 600
⇒ 7p = 600 – 460 = 140
⇒ p =  140/7 = 20
∴ p = 20

Answer - 14 : -


5p2 +100p + 295 = 20 (15 + 5p)
5p2 +100p + 295 = 300 + 100p
5p2 +100p – 100p = 300 – 295
  5p2 =5   p2 =  5/5  = 1
P= ±1
P = -1 i s not possible
p= 1
