Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 1

A shipping clerk has five boxes of different but unknown weights, each weighing less than 100 kg. The clerk weighs the boxes in pairs. The weights obtained are 110, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 120 and 121 kg. What is the weight of the heaviest box?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 1

Go with the options:
If 60 is the heaviest weight, to make 121, the second heaviest weight must be 61, which is not possible.
If 62 is the heaviest weight, the second heaviest weight will be (121 - 62) = 59
The third heaviest will be (120 - 62) = 58
Now, the lightest weight will be 112 - 58 = 54 ( Second least sum = Smallest + Third)
So, the second lightest weight must be 110 - 54 = 56
So, the weights are 54, 56, 58, 59 and 62.
We can make all the ten pairs from these.

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 2

Two vessels contain mixtures of milk and water in ratios 8 : 1 and 1 : 5, respectively. The contents of both of these are mixed in a specific ratio into a third vessel. How much mixture should be drawn from the second vessel to fill the third vessel (capacity 26 gallons) completely in order that the resulting mixture may be half milk and half water?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 2

Let x litres of the first mixture be mixed with y litres of the second mixture.
Milk Water

Since the third vessel contains half milk and half water;

16x + 3y = 2x + 15y
14x = 12y
x/y = 12/14 = 6/7
Hence, y = 7 /(7+ 6) of 26 gallons = 7/13 x 26 = 14 gallons

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 3

The average temperature on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was 55°C and that on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was 60°C. Find the temperature on Monday, if the temperature on Thursday was 56°C.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 3

Total temperature for (M + T + W) = 3 × 55 = 165°C
Total temperature for (T + W + Th) = 3 × 60 = 180°C
On subtracting, we get 
M + T + W = 165

Th – M = 15
56 – M = 15
Temperature on Monday = 41°C

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 4

The average of x consecutive integers is n and the average of the next y consecutive integers is n + 6. Find the relation between x and y.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 4

Let x consecutive numbers be a + 1, a + 2, ……… a + x.

Next y consecutive numbers be a + x + 1, a + x + 2, …….. a + x + y.

2x + 1 + y = x + 1 + 12
x + y = 12

Alternative method:
Let 3 consecutive numbers be 1, 2 and 3.
Average, 


Next numbers be 4, 5, 6 ….
Average = n + 6 = 8
∴ Next numbers must be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Hence, y must be 9.
border=0 x + y = 3 + 9 = 12

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 5

The average weight of 12 oil drums is 60 kg, which is equal to the difference between the weights of the two heaviest drums. If the average weight of the remaining 10 drums is half the total average weight, then find the weight of the heaviest drum.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 5

Average weight of 12 drums = 60 kg
Sum of weights = 12 × 60 = 720 kg
60 = H – Sv ...(1) [Where H and Sv are the weights of the two heaviest drums]

And, 1/2(60) = (Total weight of remaining 10 oil drums)/10
300 = Total weight of remaining 10 oil drums …(2)

It means that the sum of the remaining two drums is 420 kg.
H + Sv = 420 ……(3)
H – Sv = 60 ……(4)
2H = 480
H = 240 kg

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 6

One hundred and twenty students take an examination with maximum 100 marks (with no fractional marks). No three students are awarded the same marks. What is the smallest possible number of pairs of students who are awarded the same marks?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 6

Total number of students = 120
Maximum marks of the exam = 100
∵ The fractional marking is not allowed, so there are 101 students who can get different marks from 0 to 100, remaining 19 students can also get the marks from 0 to 100.
∵ No three students can get the same marks, so there are 19 pairs of students who are awarded the same marks.

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 7

A worker earned an average of $1500 per month from January to May. Then, he earned $2000, $2500, $2475 and $2325 during the months of June, July, August and September, respectively. He went on a vacation for the whole month of October. During November, he earned 100% more than what he earned in December. If his average earnings for the entire year was $1800, find his earnings in the month of November (in $).

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 7

Average earning for the entire year = $1800
Total earnings in the year = $21,600
According to the question:
5 × 1500 + 2000 + 2500 + 2475 + 2325 + 0 + 2x + x = 21600 (where x is his earnings in December)
⇒ x = 1600
Earnings in November = 2x = $3200

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 9

A baseball team, which played 60 games, won 30% of its played games. After a phenomenal winning streak, this team raised its winning percentage to 50%. How many more games must the team have won in order to attain this average?

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 9

30% of 60 = 18
If x more games were played by the team and all were won continuously, then
18 + x = 0.50(60 + x)
0.5x = 12
x = 24
Hence, 24 more games have to be won in order to attain this average.

Test Level 3: Averages - 1 - Question 10
