Aye nahi b honge to kya hua sir ?? 😛 Ajayenge..Afterall you are too good in maths! And let's not spam anymore I'm feeling guilty of starting the sequence 😉 
The average score of 42 candidates in CAT is 110. In the three rankers' scores are removed the averag drops by 2. If the paper is out of 180 marks, and the second-highest score is less than 131, then the highest score should be what value, is all scores are integers???
A cricketer had played a certain number of innings during the year. He finds that if he had not played the last game when he made 20 runs, or if he had played an extra innings and made 56 runs, he would have increased his average by 1. What was his average?
The average age of 5 men today is the same as that it was 7 years ago, with one man being replaced bu much a younger man. What is the difference between the ages of the man replaced and the new man???

42*110 - 1st - 2nd - 3rd = 39*108
1st + 2nd + 3rd = 42*110 - 39*108
1st + 2nd + 3rd = 408
highest score = 408 - 2*130 = 148 ?
@mailtoankit Y did u chose 2nd highest as 130!!!
If second higest is 130 thn 3rd highest should evn b less thn tht???
If second higest is 130 thn 3rd highest should evn b less thn tht???

37 ?
nx - 20 = (n - 1)(x + 1)....i
nx + 56 = (n + 1)(x + 1)...ii
solve these 2 eqns
n = 18 , x = 37

If average age 7 years ago was A by now it should have been A+7.But it is still A.So average age decreased by 7.As a older man was replaced by a younger man diff should be 7*5=35

149..??
Consider 2nd highest as 130 and 3rd as 129..! (If everyone has got distinct marks )
else,
148.!

Suppose say A=average of n games.With n-1 games average increases by 1 with a score of 20.
So,20=A-(n-1)*1;
Next with n+1 games average increases by 1 with a score of 56.
So,56=A+1 +n*1
Solving A=37

why did you choose 130 ?
