#4.
If the standard deviation is zero, it means that the numbers are same (no deviation). Then adding 10 and dividing with 7 will make each numbers change in the same way. So, the standard deviation will remain zero.

Thanks

#35.
The total age is 9 X 5 =45
then one child is left out. Then total age 3 X 4 =12.
So, the Child (!) age equals 33 !

???

#33. I guess they are sitting on two sides of the table (as not enough info is provided) 6 on each side.
There are 5 gaps between 6 persons.
Therefore, 5 X 2.5= 12.5 =>the answer may be 13.

#41.
I guess the question is like what is the actual discount he gets?

He gets 40% in two items and 20% in one.
So, ((40 X 2)+ (20 X 1))/3 = 33.33%

Ratio will be 1/1.4*1.4*1.4 which is greater than 8/125
Hence A
