Question 51

The average of five consecutive even numbers is M.If the next five even numbers are also included, the average of ten numbers will be:

The average of five consecutive even numbers = M

Sum of the 5 number = 5M

Let the first even number be x.

$$\frac{x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8}{5} = M$$

5x = 5M - 20

x = M - 4

Next 5 numbers = x + 10, x + 12, x + 14, x + 16, x + 18, 

On put the value of x,

Numbers = M + 6, M + 8, M + 10, M + 12, M + 12

average of ten numbers = $$\frac{5M + M + 6 + M + 8 + M + 10 + M + 12 + M + 14}{10}$$

= (10M + 50)/10 = M + 5
