Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 1

A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?

Detailed Solution for Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 1

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

 Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]

   = Rs. (39000 - 34009)

   = Rs. 4991.

Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 2

The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, what is the weight of B?

Detailed Solution for Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 2

Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:

A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)

A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)

B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)

Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.

 B's weight = 31 kg.

Detailed Solution for Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 4

Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 * 3 + 3 * 3) years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 * 2 + 5 * 2) years = 50 years.
Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years 
= 40 years

Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 5

The average weight of 8 person's increases by 2.5 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 65 kg. What is the weight of the new person?

Detailed Solution for Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 5

The average weight of 8 persons increases by 2.5 kg
Total weight of 8 persons increased = 8 × 2.5 kg = 20 kg.
New person comes in place of one of them weighing 65 kg.
Hence the increase of weight of 8 persons together is because of new person replacing the person having 65 kg weight. Accordingly
Weight of new person = 65 + 20 kg = 85 kg
Thus the person replacing the 65 kg person should have 85 kg weight, which causes increase of weight of the group together by 2.5 kg .

Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 8

A student needed to find the arithmetic mean of the numbers 3, 11, 7, 9, 15, 13, 8, 19, 17, 21, 14 and x. He found the mean to be 12. What is the value of x?

Detailed Solution for Test: Averages (January 23) - Question 8

As, Mean = Total Sum of Observations / No. of Observations

Clearly, we have (3 + 11 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 13 + 8 + 19 + 17 + 21 + 14 + x) / 12 = 12.

or  137 + x = 144

⇒ x = 144 - 137 = 7.
