The following question based on average topic of quantitative aptitude
(a) 25
(b) 21
(c) 28
(d) 23
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Let three numbers be a,b and c respectively.
∴ a + b + c = 16 × 3 = 48 ---(i)
b + c + 20 = 15 × 3 = 45
⇒ b + c = 45 – 20 = 25 ---(ii)
By equation (i) - (ii),
a = 48 – 25 = 23
Aliter : Using Rule 16,
Here, n = 3, F = 16, L = 15
l = 20, f= ?
f – l= n (F – L)
f – 20= 3 (16 – 15)
f = 3 + 20
f = 23

Question : 1
The average of 13 results is 70. The average of first seven is 65 and that of the last seven is 75, the seventh result is :
a) 70
b) 70.5
c) 68
d) 67
Answer »Answer: (a)
Seventh observation
= 65 × 7 + 7 × 75 – 13 × 70
= 455 + 525 – 910
= 980 – 910 = 70
Aliter :
Here, n = 13, x = 70
m =7, y = 65
m = 7, z = 75
Seventh result = m (y + z) – nx
= 7 (65 + 75) – 13 × 70
= 7 × (140) – 910
= 980 – 910 = 70
Question : 2
The average of 20 numbers is 12. The average of the first 12 numbers is 11 and that of the next 7 numbers is 10. The last number is :
a) 38
b) 50
c) 48
d) 40
Answer »Answer: (a)
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
Last number = Sum of 20 numbers
– sum of first 12 numbers – sum of next 7 numbers
= 20 × 12 – 11 × 12 – 7 × 10
= 240 – 132 – 70 = 38
Question : 3
The average of six numbers is 3.95. The average of two of them is 3.4, while the average of the other two is 3.85. The average of the remaining two numbers is
a) 4.5
b) 4.7
c) 4.8
d) 4.6
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
Sum of remaining two numbers
= 6 × 3.95 – 2 × 3.4 – 2 × 3.85
= 23.7 – 6.8 – 7.7 = 9.2
∴ Required average = ${9.2}/2$= 4.6
Question : 4
The average of three numbers is 135. The largest number is 195 and the difference between the other two is 20. The smallest number is
a) 95
b) 115
c) 105
d) 65
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
According to the question,
195 + x + x + 20 = 135 × 3
⇒ 2x + 215 = 405
⇒ 2x = 405 – 215 = 190
∴ x =$190/2$ = 95
x = Smallest number
Question : 5
The average of 8 numbers is 20. The average of first two numbers is 15$1/2$ and that of the next three is 21$1/3$. If the sixth number be less than the seventh and eighth numbers by 4 and 7 respectively, then the eighth number is :
a) 22
b) 27
c) 25
d) 18
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Sum of 8 numbers = 20 × 8 = 160
Sum of the first two numbers =$31/2$ ×2 = 31
Sum of next three numbers = $64/3$×3=64
Sum of the remaining three numbers = 160 – (31 + 64) = 160 – 95 = 65
Let 6th number = x
∴ 7th number = x + 4,
8th number = x + 7
⇒ x + x + 4 + x + 7 = 65
⇒ 3x = 65 – 11
⇒ x = $54/3$ =18
∴ Eighth number = 18 + 7 = 25
Question : 6
The average of nine numbers is 50. The average of the first five numbers is 54 and that of the last three numbers is 52. Then the sixth number is
a) 34
b) 44
c) 24
d) 30
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
The sixth number
= 9 × 50 – 5 × 54 – 3 × 52
= 450 – 270 – 156 = 24
