Question : 26 [SSC CHSL 2011]
a, b, c, d, e, f, g are consecutive even numbers. j, k, l, m, n are consecutive odd numbers. The average of all the numbers is
a) $({j+c+n+g}/4)$
b) $({a+b+m+n}/4)$
c) $({l+d}/2)$
d) 3$({a+n}/2)$
Answer »Answer: (c)
Average of a, b, c, d, e, f, g = d
Average of j, k, l, m, n, = l
∴ Required average = ${d+l}/2$
Question : 27 [SSC CPO 2006]
The average of 5 consecutive natural numbers is m. If the next three natural numbers are also included, how much more than m will the average of these 8 numbers be?
a) 1.5
b) 1.4
c) 1
d) 2
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
Average of numbers = ${x_1+x_2+…+x_n}/n$
The average will increase by 1.5.
As, ${1+2+3+4+5}/5$ = 3,
${1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8}/8$ = 4.5
⇒ 4.5 - 3 = 1.5
Question : 28 [SSC CHSL 2010]
The average of seven consecutive positive integers is 26. The smallest of these integers is :
a) 26
b) 25
c) 23
d) 21
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Average of numbers = ${x_1+x_2+…+x_n}/n$
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5+x+ 6 = 26 × 7
⇒ 7x + 21 = 182
⇒ 7x = 182 – 21 = 161
⇒ x = $161/7$ = 23
Shortcut Approach
Fourth number = 26
∴ First number = 23
Question : 29 [SSC Constable 2013]
The average of first ten prime numbers is
a) 13
b) 12.9
c) 10
d) 10.1
Answer »Answer: (b)
Required average
= ${2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23+29}/10$
= $129/10$ = 12.9
Question : 30 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2015]
The average of 6 consecutive natural numbers is K. If the next two natural numbers are also included, how much more than K will the average of these 8 numbers be?
a) 1.8
b) 2
c) 1
d) 1.3
Answer »Answer: (c)
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 = 6K
⇒ 6x + 15 = 6K
⇒ x + $15/6$ = K
⇒ x + $5/2$ = K ..... (i)
Again, ${x+(x+1)+…+(x+6)+(x+7)}/8$
= ${8x}/2$ + $28/8$ = x +$7/2$ ........ (ii)
Now, x + $7/2$ – x – $5/2$ = 1
