The average of 7 consecutive numbers is 20. The largest of these numbers is

a) 26

b) 24

c) 23

d) 20

Question : 17 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2016]

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 28 more than the average of these three numbers. Then the smallest of these three numbers is

a) 16

b) 14

c) 12

d) 6

Shortcut »

Answer: (c)

Let three consecutive even numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4. According to the question,

(x + x + 2 + x + 4) – ${x+x+2+x+4}/3$= 28

⇒ (3x + 6) – ${3x+6}/3$ = 28

⇒ (3x + 6) – (x + 2) = 28

⇒ 3x + 6 – x – 2 = 28

⇒ 2x + 4 = 28

⇒ 2x = 28 – 4 = 24

⇒ x = $24/2$ = 12

Question : 18 [SSC CPO 2003]

The average of first nine prime numbers is

a) 11$1/9$

b) 11$2/9$

c) 11

d) 9

Shortcut »

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Average of numbers = ${x_1+x_2+…+x_n}/n$

The required average

=${2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23}/9$

=$100/9$ = 11 $1/9$

The average of 25 consecutive odd integers is 55. The highest of these integers is

a) 109

b) 155

c) 105

d) 79

Shortcut »

Answer: (d)

Average of 25 consecutive odd numbers = 55

∴ Mid number i.e. 13th number = 55

∴ 25th number = 55 + 2 × 12

= 55 + 24 = 79

Question : 20 [SSC CGL 2013]

The average of the first nine integral multiples of 3 is

a) 18

b) 15

c) 12

d) 21

Shortcut »

Answer: (b)

Required average

= ${3(1+2+3+…+9)}/9$

= ${9×10}/{2×3}$ = 15

Aliter : Using Rule 9,

Here, n = 9, x = 3

Average = x$({1+n}/2)$

= 3$({1+9}/2)$ = 15
