a) $\text"x+y"/\text"2xy"$

b) $\text"2xy"/\text"x+y"$

c) $(x^2+y^2)/\text"x+y"$

d) $\text"xy"/\text"x+y"$

Question : 2 [S.S.C. (CISF) 2011]

If average of 20 observations x₁,x₂, ....., x₂₀ is y, then the average of x₁ – 101, x₂ – 101, x₃ –101, ....., x₂₀ –101 is

a) y-20

b) y-101

c) 20y

d) 101y

Question : 3 [S.S.C. (CHSL) 2011]

The average of $x$ numbers is $y^2$ and the average of $y$ numbers is $x^2$. So the average of all the numbers taken together is

a) $(x^3+y^3)/\text"x+y"$

b) $xy$

c) $(x^2+y^2)/\text"x+y"$

d) $xy^2+yx^2$

Question : 4 [S.S.C. (CGL) 2016]

a) $(a(b-c))/(a-c)$

b) $(b-c)/(a-c)$

c) $(b-c)/\text"10(a-c)"$

d) $\text"10(b-c)"/(a-c)$
