The Jumbo circus is performing in the city and the jumbo circus main attraction is a group performance by a

If we assume Musician, Singer, Dancer, Guitarist and Artist as single people and then find there average it becomes easy.
(M+S+D+G+A)/5 = X ==> (M+S+D+A)/5 + 184/5 = X ==> 184/5 = X-(M+S+D+A)/5
(M+S+D+J+A)/5 = X-2 ==> (M+S+D+A)/5 + J/5 = X-2 ==> J/5 = X-(M+S+D+A)/5-2
==> J/5 = 184/5 - 2
==> J = 174....(ANSWER)

How has everyone calculated that there are 13 members in the group?
Its not written anywhere that you have 13 members!!!
There are 5 types of people where there is a single artist and a single guitarist and the musician, singers and dancers are multiple.
However, what I think, if everybody can be in multiple numbers, then if each one's height is compromised by 2cms, then the 4 kind of people will get their heights compromised by 4*2 cms i.e. 8 cms, in which case the answer must be a reduction of 8cms or a multiple of it i.e. 176, 168, or 160 out of which 160 is an option that we have.

answer is 158cm
if there are 13 members in group
171 is impossible answer because (184-171=13)which is not multiple of 2
184 is not possible because in question guitarist is single
13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(13)
we can write (M+S+D+A+G)/5-(M+S+D+A+J)=2
As A=D
so (M+S+2D+G)/5-(M+S+2D+J)/5=2
G/5-J/5=2
-> 184/5-J/5=2
->J=174.................THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

174
(m+S+d+G+A)/5=x
(m+s+d+a+j)/5=x-2.on solving dese 2 equation with g=184,we get j=174

there r 13 people, one person( guitarist) is replaced. then 12*2cm=24cm. average height is 184
result= 184-24=160cm. but after the person( guitarist) is replaced by joker then weight is decreased by 2cm . therefore 158cm (c)is the right one
12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(5)
there is not given that how many members r there in a group so how can we assume 13...cant say????
12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(2)
answer is 158 cm.
184-x=26
184-26=x
x=158 cm (Ans)
12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
there are 5 member in this group than the average of this group is
(m+s+d+g+a)/5= a. eq-1
guitarist height is given than
(m+s+d+a+184)/5= a. eq-2
when we replace the g with joker than i will become
(m+s+d+a+j)/5= a-2
than we have to find the jokers height
=>j/5= a-[(m+s+d+a)/5]-2
=>j/5= (184/5)-2. by eq. 2
=> j= 174. answer

3018 is the ans.it is the 10th element.so for 1,1 each occupying 2 byte 10th element will be at 3018

there is some mistake in the question.
with the given information, what we can say is that the ht of joker is (184-2n),where n>=7(7 is the min. number of people in the group);so 171 is wrong.
12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
i don't think 158 is the ri8
may be there is 12 or 15 menbers
then the ans will be 160or 154 according to these peoples....

Lets say D(N) denotes the last non zero digit of factorial, then the algo says
D(N)=4*D[N/5]*D(Unit digit of N)[If tens digit of N is odd]
D(N)=6*D[N/5]*D(Unit digit of N)[If tens digit of N is even]; Where [N/5] is greatest Integer Function

#Problem 18
Find the last non zero digit of 26!*33!.

Solution Scheme and Approach
D(26)=6*D[26/5]*D(6)=6*D(5)*D(6)=6*2*2=4[D(5) means last non zero digit of 5!=120 which is 2, same for D(6)]
D(33)=4*D[33/5]*D(3)=4*D(6)*D(3)=4*2*6=8
look at this
Hence last non aero digit of 26!*33!=4*8=2
Remember
D(1)=1 D(2)=2 D(3)=6 D(4)=4 D(5)=2 D(6)=2 D(7)=4 D(8)=2 D(9)=8

assume everyone as single people
(m+s+d+g+a)/5 = X
means
m+s+d+g+a = 5X - 1st equation

now if i replace guitarist with joker then equation is
m+s+d+A+j = 5(X-2)
m+s+d+A+j = 5X-10 - 2nd equation

now solving 1st and 2nd equation u can write it as
5X-g+j = 5x-10
j= g-10
as given g = 184
j = 174

now in starting we assumed everyone as single one so it means height of people reduces in multiple of 10
so 174 164 154 144 are expected answer
from option u can easily choose 154cm

According to the logic 174 should be the answer,but where is the mistake
11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
174
(m+s+d+g+a)/5 - (2) = (m+S+d+J+a)/5
hence
g-j=10
j=g-10
j=184-10=174
