Question


What is the numerical value of M+F?


Options:
A .   8
B .   10
C .   9
D .   Can't be determined. 
Answer: Option A
:
A

 Option A.


Given that the combined average is M+F, hence


 (M+F)=(2MF+42){(M+F)+1}


Or  (M+F)2+(M+F)=2MF+42


Or  M2+F2+M+F=42


Or M(M+1)+F(F+1)=42,  since M and F are integers, there is only one possibility that M(M+1) =12 or 30 and F(F+1) =30 or 12. Hence M can be 3 or 5 and F can be 5 or 3. So the sum of M and F is 8. Thus option (a).
