Question : 1

The average of five numbers is 7. If three new numbers would be added, then the new average comes out to be 8.5. What is the average of those three new numbers?

a) 10.5

b) 11

c) 9

d) 11.5

Answer: (b)

Sum of three new numbers = 8 × 8.5 – 7 × 5

= 68 – 35 = 33

∴ Required average = $33/3$ = 11

Question : 2

If the mean of 4 observations is 20, when a constant 'C’ is added to each observation, the mean becomes 22. The value of C is :

a) –2

b) 2

c) 6

d) 4

Answer: (b)

4C = 22 × 4 – 20 × 4 = 88 – 80 = 8

⇒ C = $8/4$ = 2

Question : 3

The average weight of 12 parcels is 1.8 kg. Addition of another new parcel reduces the average weight by 50 g. What is the weight of the new parcel ?

a) 1.10 kg

b) 1.15 kg

c) 1.50 kg

d) 1.01 kg

Answer: (b)

Total weight 12 parcels = 12 × 1.8 = 21.6 kg.

New average of 13 parcels = 1.8 – 0.05 = 1.75 kg.

Total weight of 13 parcels = 13 × 1.75 = 22.75 kg.

∴ Weight of new parcel = 22.75 – 21.6 = 1.15 kg.

Aliter : Using Rule 18,

( If in the group of N persons, a new person comes at the place of a person of 'T’ years, so that average age,

increases by 't’ years

Then, the age of the new person = T + N.t. )

Here, T = 1.8, N= (12 + 1) = 13, t = $50/1000$ = .05

Weight of new parcel = T – Nt

= 1.8 – 13 × 0.05

= 1.8 – 0.65 = 1.15 kg

Question : 4

The average of marks of 28 students in Mathematics was 50; 8 students left the school, then this average increased by 5. What is the average of marks obtained by the students who left the school ?

a) 37.5

b) 42.5

c) 50.5

d) 45

Answer: (a)

Total marks of 28 students = 28× 50 = 1400

Total marks of 20 students = 20 × 55 = 1100

∴Total marks of 8 students = 1400 – 1100 = 300

∴ Average = $300/8$ = 37.5

Question : 5

The average of five numbers is 140. If one number is excluded, the average of the remaining four numbers is 130. The excluded number is :

a) 134

b) 180

c) 135

d) 150

Answer: (b)

Required number = 5 × 140 – 4 × 130

= 700 – 520 = 180

Aliter : Using Rule 25,

Here, x = (140 – 130) = 10, n = 5

Excluded number = Average + x (n – 1)

= 140 + 10 × 4 = 180

Question : 6

The mean weight of 34 students of a school is 42 kg. If the weight of the teacher be included, the mean rises by 400 grams. Find the weight of the teacher (in kg).

a) 57 kg

b) 66 kg

c) 55 kg

d) 56 kg

Answer: (d)

Weight of the teacher = 42 kg. + ${35 × 400}/1000$kg

= 42 + 14 = 56 kg.

Aliter : Using Rule 24,

Here, x = $400/100$ = 0.4, n = 34

Weight of teacher = Average + x (n + 1)

= 42 + 0.4 (34 + 1)

= 42 + 14 = 56 kg
