Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
Require sum of 1+3+5+7+9….99
Applying formula for summation of n digits with a as first digit and d is the difference
sum = $\frac{n}{2} (2a + (n-1) d)$
or this formula can be reduced to $\frac{n}{2} \frac{a + l}{2} $hence for calculating avg. it will be
$\frac{a + l}{2}$ (where $l$ is last term)
so $\frac{1 + 99}{2}$ = 50
2) Answer (B)
Total share percentage on food and rent = 45+14 = 59%
Hence price will be = $25000 \times {59}{100} = 14750$
3) Answer (C)
Let’s say numbers are $a, a+2, a+4$
So avg. will be $\frac{(a+a+2+a+4)}{3} = \frac{a}{3} +12$
Or a = 15
So numbers will be 15, 17, 19
4) Answer (A)
5) Answer (B)
As we know average of numbers which are in A.P. is = $\frac{a+l}{2}$ (where a is first term and l is last term)
Here a=3
and l= 27
Hence average will be 15
6) Answer (B)
Let the 6 consecutive numbers be a-3,a-2,a-1,a,a+1,a+2
average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$
It is given that average of 6 consecutive numbers be k and hence
k = $\frac{a-3+a-2+a-1+a+a+1+a+2}{6}$ = $\frac{6a-3}{6}$ = a – $\frac{1}{2}$
now next two numbers (a+3, a+4) are also added
Sum of 8 numbers = a-3+a-2+a-1+a+a+1+a+2+a+3+a+4 = 8a +4
average of 8 numbers = $\frac{8a+4}{8}$ = a + $\frac{1}{2}$ = k + 1
so average of 8 numbers is more than average of 6 numbers by = k+1 – K = 1
7) Answer (B)
Arithmetic Mean = $\frac{Sumof Elements}{NumberofElements}$
Sum of first n natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$
Arithmetic Mean of first n natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)}{2\times n}$ = $\frac{n+1}{2}$
8) Answer (A)
let the four numbers be a,b,c,d
Using formula average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$
Now, the average of first 3 numbers = 16
=> Sum of first 3 numbers=a+b+c = 16 × 3 = 48………. (1)
Also, average of last three numbers = 15
=> Sum of last three numbers = b+c+d = 15 × 3 = 45……(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1)
=> a – d = 3
Since, d = 20
=> a – 20 = 3
=> a = 23
9) Answer (B)
we know that average =$\frac {sum of elements}{numberof elements} $
Number of elements =7
Sum of elements = 7+11+15+14+21+25+x = 93+x
=> Average = $\frac {93+x}{7} $
=> 15 = $\frac {93+x}{7} $
=> x = 12
10) Answer (B)
Average = $\frac{Sum of Elements}{Number of Elements}$
Number of subjects = 6
wrong average = 88
sum of marks calculated wrongly in all subjects = 88 x 6 = 528
Correct Marks = 528 – 86 + 68 = 510
Correct Average of marks = $\frac{510}{6}$ = 85
11) Answer (D)
In 2nd inning Cheteswar Pujara has scored minimum ,
runs in 1st innings = 70
runs in 2nd innings = 10
Average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$
average runs = $\frac{70+10}{2}$ = 40
12) Answer (C)
Average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$
Given that average marks of 40 students in a class = 86
Hence total marks of 40 students = 40 x 86 = 3440
Now when the top 5 highest marks are removed than the average reduces by 1 and hence it become = 86-1 = 85
and number of students now becomes = 40-5 = 35
So total of remaining students = 35 x 85 = 2975
So total marks of top 5 students = 3440 – 2975 = 465
average of 5 students = $\frac{465}{5}$ = 93
13) Answer (D)
Let the total number of members in the institution be z
average = $\frac{SumofElements}{NumberofElements}$
Average salary of institution = Rs 60
total salary of Institution =Rs 60z
Given that out of z persons , there are 12 officers and there average salary is = Rs 400
and so total salary of 12 officers = 12 x 400 =Rs 4800
So total salary of other (z-12) members =Rs ( 60z – 4800 )…………..(1)
It is given that average salary of (z-12) persons = Rs 56
and hence from here the total salary of (z-12) people = Rs 56(z-12)……….(2)
Equation 1 and 2 are equal
60z – 4800 = 56z – 672
4z = 4128
z = 1032
14) Answer (A)
Average = $\frac{Sum of Elements}{Number of Elements}$
Given that Initially Number of Elements = 50
Initial Average = 38
Sum of Elements = 50 x 38 = 1900
Now as two numbers are discarded, hence number of elements left = 48
Sum of elements after discarding numbers = 1900 – 55 – 45 = 1800
Hence New Average = $\frac{1800}{48}$ = 37.5
15) Answer (A)
Given that average of 20 numbers = 15
using average = $\frac{Sum}{Numberof Elements}$
Sum of all numbers = 20 x 15 = 300
Average of first five numbers = 12
So sum of first five numbers = 12×5 = 60
Sum of numbers left = 300 – 60 = 240
Number of numbers left = 20 – 5 = 15
So average of left numbers = $\frac{240}{15}$ = 16
