Question : 1
The average of eight successive numbers is 6.5. The average of the smallest and the greatest numbers among them will be :
a) 6.5
b) 9
c) 7.5
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 + x + 6 + x + 7 = 6.5 × 8 = 52
⇒ 8x + 28 = 52
⇒ 8x = 52 – 28 = 24
⇒ x = 3
∴ Required average =${3+10}/2$= 6.5
Question : 2
Three numbers are such that the average of first two numbers is 2, the average of the last two numbers is 3 and the average of the first and the last numbers is 4, then the average of three numbers is equal to
a) 3.5
b) 2.5
c) 3
d) 2
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Numbers in order
⇒ a, b and c
∴ a + b = 2 × 2 = 4
b + c = 2 × 3 = 6
c + a = 2 × 4 = 8
On adding,
2 (a + b + c) = 4 + 6 + 8 = 18
⇒ a + b + c = $18/2$ = 9
∴ Required average =$9/3$ = 3
Question : 3
The average of 9 numbers is 30. The average of first 5 numbers is 25 and that of the last 3 numbers is 35. What is the 6th number?
a) 30
b) 50
c) 40
d) 20
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Average of two or more numbers/quantities is called the mean of these numbers, which is given by
$\text"Average(A)" = \text"Sumof observation / quantities"/\text"No of observation / quantities"$
∴ S = A × n
According to question,
The average of 9 numbers = 30
Now,The total of 9 numbers
= 30 × 9 = 270
The average of first 5 numbers = 25
∴ The total of first 5 numbers = 25 × 5 = 125
and Total of last 3 numbers = 3 × 35 = 105
Hence, required answer
= 270 – (125 + 105)
= 270 – 230 = 40
