a) 50

b) 56

c) 52

d) 48

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

Average of two or more numbers/quantities is called the mean of these numbers, which is given by

$\text"Average(A)" = \text"Sum of observation / quantities"/\text"No of observation / quantities"$

∴ S = A × n

Sixth result

= 6 × 49 + 6 × 52 – 11 × 50

= 294 + 312 – 550 = 56

Question : 2

The average of 11 numbers is 63. If the average of first six numbers is 60 and the last six numbers is 65, then the 6th number is

a) 60

b) 64

c) 62

d) 57

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

Average of two or more numbers/quantities is called the mean of these numbers, which is given by

$\text"Average(A)" = \text"Sum of observation / quantities"/\text"No of observation / quantities"$

∴ S = A × n

Sixth number

= 6 × 60 + 6 × 65 – 11 × 63

= 360 + 390 – 693 = 57

Question : 3

Average of n numbers is a. The first number is increased by 2, second one is increased by 4, the third one is increased by 8 and so on. The average of the new numbers is

a) a+2 ${2^{n} – 1}/n$

b) a+${2^{n }- 1}/n$

c) a+$2^{n-1} /n$

d) a+${2^{n-1} – 1}/n$

Answer: (a)

Sum of new numbers

= na + (2 + 4 + 8 + 16 ..... to n terms)

Now, S = 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ..... to n terms

Here, a = first term = 2

r = common ratio = $4/2$ = 2

It is a geometric series.

∴ S =${a({r^n} - 1)}/{r-1}$= ${2({2^n} - 1)}/{2-1}$

= 2 ($2^n$ –1)

∴ Required average

= ${na +2({2^n}-1)}/n$

a +${2({2^n}-1)}/n$

Question : 4

In a certain year, the average monthly income of a person was Rs.3,400. For the first eight months of the year, his average monthly income was Rs.3,160 and for the last five months, it was Rs.4,120. His income in the eighth month of the year was

a) Rs.5,080

b) Rs.5,520

c) Rs.15,520

d) Rs.3,160

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Person’s income in the eighth month

= Rs.(3160 × 8 + 5 × 4120 – 12 × 3400)

= Rs. (25280 + 20600 – 40800)

= Rs. 5080

Question : 5

a) 23

b) 15

c) 13

d) 10

Answer: (b)

Middle i.e. eighth number

= 8 × 6.5 + 8 × 8.5 – 15 × 7

= 52 + 68 – 105

= 120 – 105 = 15

Question : 6

The average temperature of the first 4 days of a week was 37°C and that of the last 4 days of the week was 41°C. If the average temperature of the whole week was 39°C, the temperature of the fourth day was

a) 38.5°C

b) 40°C

c) 39°C

d) 38°C

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1,

M + T + W + TH = 4 × 37 = 148°C ........ (i)

TH + F + S + S = 4 × 41 = 164°C ........ (ii)

M + T +....+ S + S = 7 × 39 = 273°C ........ (iii)

∴ The temperature of the fourth day

= 148 + 164 – 273 = 39°C
