Question : 36
The average weight of the 8 oarsmen in boat is increased by 1$1/2$ kg when one of the crew who weighs 60kg is replaced by a new man. The weight of the new man (in kg) is
a) 68 kg
b) 70 kg
c) 72 kg
d) 71 kg
Answer »Answer: (c)
Weight of the new oarsman = 60 + 8 × $3/2$
= 60 + 12 = 72 kg
Aliter : Using Rule 18,
Here, N = 8, T = 60, t = $3/2$
Weight of new man = T + Nt
= 60 + 8 × $3/2$
= 60 + 12 = 72
Question : 37 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2012]
The mean of 100 items was 46. Later on it was discovered that an item 16 was misread as 61 and another item 43 was misread as 34. It was also found that the number of items were 90 and not 100. Then what is the correct mean ?
a) 50.7
b) 50
c) 52.7
d) 52
Answer »Answer: (a)
Required Average
= ${100 × 46 – 61 – 34 + 16 + 43}/90$
= ${4600 – 36}/90$ = $4564/90$ = 50.7
Question : 38
The average of marks of 14 student was calculated as 71. But it was later found that the marks of one student had been wrongly entered as 42 instead of 56 and of another as 74 instead of 32. The correct average is :
a) 68
b) 67
c) 71
d) 69
Answer »Answer: (d)
According to question,
Total marks = 71 × 14 = 994
Correct total marks
= 994 + (56 – 42) + (32 – 74)
= 994 + 14 – 42 = 966
∴ Required average = $966/14$ = 69
Aliter : Using Rule 27,
If the average of n numbers is m later on it was found that two numbers a and b misread as p and q.
The correct average = m +${\text"(a+b-p-q)"}/ \text"n"$.
Here n = 14, m = 71
a = 56, b = 42
p = 32, q = 74
Correct Average
= m +${\text"(a+b-p-q)"}/ \text"n"n$
= 71 +${(56+ 32- 42- 74)}/14$
= 71 -$28/14$
= 71 – 2 = 69
Question : 39
The mean of 50 numbers is 30. Later it was discovered that two entries were wrongly entered as 82 and 13 instead of 28 and 31. Find the correct mean.
a) 30.66
b) 36.12
c) 38.21
d) 29.28
Answer »Answer: (d)
Required average
= 30+${(28+31-82-13)}/50$
= 30 $(-36/50)$
= 30 – 0.72 = 29.28
Aliter : Using Rule 27,
If the average of n numbers is m later on it was found that two numbers a and b misread as p and q.
The correct average = m +${\text"(a+b-p-q)"}/ \text"n"$.
Here, n = 50, m = 30
a = 28, b = 31
p = 82, q = 13
Correct Average = m + ${\text"(a+b-p-q)"}/ \text"n"n$
= 30 +${(28+31-82-13)}/50$
= 30 +$({59-95}/50)$
= 30 -$36/50$
= 30 – 0.72 = 29.28
Question : 40
The average of 100 items was found to be 30. If at the time of calculation, two items were wrongly taken as 32 and 12 instead of 23 and 11, then the correct average is :
a) 29
b) 29.8
c) 29.5
d) 29.9
Answer »Answer: (d)
Correct sum of 100 items
= 30 × 100 – 32 – 12 + 23 + 11
= 3000 – 44 + 34 = 2990
∴ Required average = 2990 100 = 29.9
