Question : 46 [SSC Constable2012]
A man bought 13 articles at Rs.70 each, 15 at Rs.60 each and 12 at Rs.65 each. The average price per article is
a) Rs.65.75
b) Rs.62.25
c) Rs.64.75
d) Rs.60.25
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 2,
If the given observations (x) are occuring with certain frequency (A) then,
$Average = {A_1x_1+A_2x_2+...............+A_nx_n}/{x_1+x_2+......+x_n}$
where, $A_1, A_2, A_3, .......... A_n$ are frequencies
Required average price
= ${13×70+15×60+12×65}/{13+15+12}$
= ${910+900+780}/40$ =$2590/40$
= Rs.64.75

a) 29.5 kg.
b) 35 kg.
c) 32 kg.
d) 31 kg.
Answer »Answer: (d)
B’s weight = (A + B)’s weight + (B + C)’s weight – (A + B + C)’s weight
= (40 × 2 + 2 × 43 – 45 × 3) kg.
= (80 + 86 – 135) kg.
= 31 kg.

a) Rs.35
b) Rs.34
c) Rs.37
d) Rs.38
Answer »Answer: (b)
Total cost price of 20kg of mixed rice
Rs. (12 × 30 + 8 × 40) = Rs.680
∴ Average per kg price = $680/20$ = Rs.34
Aliter : Using Rule 2,
$x_1$ = 12, $A_1$ = 30
$x_2$ = 8, $A_2$ = 40
∴ Average = ${A_1x_1 + A_2x_2}/{x_1+x_2}$
${30×12+40×8}/{12+8}$
${360+320}/20$
= $680/20$
= Rs.34
