Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 3

Ram was born 30 years after his father was born and Ram's sister was born 25 years after Ram’s mother was born. The average age of the Ram family is 26.25 years right now. Ram's sister will get married 4 years from now and will leave the family. Then the sum of age of the family will be 107 years. What is the age of Ram's father?

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 3

Let the present age of father be x and mother be y

∴ Ram age = (x – 30)

And Ram’s sister = (y – 25)

We know that

Average = Sum of all/total number of terms

⇒ 26.25 = Sum of all/4

Sum of their ages will be = 105

∴ x + y + (x - 30) + (y – 25) = 105

⇒ x + y = 80     ----(i)

After four years their total ages will be (excluding daughter age)

∴ (x + 4) + (y + 4) + (x – 30) + 4 = 107

⇒ 2x + y = 125     ----(ii)

By solving equation (i) and (ii) we get

⇒ x = 45 and y = 35

∴ The age of Ram’s father will be 45 years 

Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 4

India is supposed to send its boxing team for Olympics in each of the following 10 weight group divisions.

G (72 k g - 76 kg)    H (76 k g - 80 kg)

After selecting one player from each group, their average weight comes out to be 68 kg. if one of the players named X leaves

If X leaves the team, and two new players join the group, then their average weight increases to 68 kg. These players can be from group....

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 4

- The average weight of the original 10 players is 68 kg, making the total weight 680 kg.
- When player X leaves and two new players join, the average remains 68 kg, indicating the new total is 680 kg for 11 players.
- Hence, the two new players together must weigh the same as the one who left, maintaining the total weight.
- For the average to remain unchanged, both new players must be from the same weight group, hence option D: both from G.

Sum of ages of Mr & Mrs Sinha in 1976 = (46 + 8) years = 54 years

their son’s age in 1976 = (57 - 54) years = 3 years

The batting average is calculated by dividing the total number of runs scored by the total number of innings played by the player. How many values of his new average is/are possible?

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 7

Total number of runs scored till 86th inning = 86 N Now, 86 N + 270 = 87 (N + S), where S is the increase in batting average.

Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 8

Read the passage below and solve the questions based on it.
The average score of a batsman for a certain number of innings was 21 75 per inning. He played 3 innings more and scored 28. 34 and 37 runs respectively, thus increasing his average by 1.125.

Q. How many innings in all did he play?

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 8

Let number of innings be x

average of the first (x-3) innings = 21.75
Total of the first (x-3) innings = 21.75(x-3)

Average of the x innings = (21.75+1.125) = 22.875
Total of the x innings = 22.875x

21.75(x-3) + 28+34+37= 22.875x
21.75(x-3) + 99 = 22.875x
21.75x - 65.25 + 99 = 22.875x
1.125x = 33.75
x = 30

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 9

Savings target in a year = 550*12 = Rs 6600

Saving in first 9 months = 9(4000-3500) = Rs 4500

Saving for remaining 3 months should be 6600-4500, i.e. Rs 2100

Savings for each month in last 3 months = 2100/3 = Rs 700

It is given, monthly expenses in last 3 months = Rs 3700

This implies, his monthly earnings from 10th month should be 3700+700, i.e. Rs 4400

Mukul has earned as an average of 4,200 dollars for the first eleven months of the year. If he justifies his staying in the US on the basis of his ability to earn at least 5000 dollars per month for the entire year, then how much should he earn (in dollars) in the last month to achieve his required average for the whole year?

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 11

The salary expectation for the whole year is 5000. So, the total earning will be 60000.

Now for the last month he has to earn 60000 – 46200 = 13800.

Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 12

The average of the 5 consecutive even numbers A,B,C,D ,E is 52.what is the product of B & E

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 12

Let the five consecutive even numbers A,B,C,D ,E = (x−4),(x−2),(x),(x+2),(x+4) respectively.
Average = A+B+C+D+E/5 = 52
=> (x−4)+(x−2)+(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=52×5
=> 5x=52×5
=> x=52×55=52
=> x=52–2=50 and x=52+4=56
∴ Product of B & E = 50 × 56 = 2800

Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 13

If the average marks of 17 students in a class is A. The marks of the students when arranged in either an ascending or a descending order was found to be in arithmetic progression. The class teacher found that the students who were ranked 3rd, 7th, 9th, 11th, 15 th had copied in the exam and hence got all of them rusticated. The average of the remainder of the class was B. Then

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 13

This question is one standard example of the definition of average in terms of surplus and deficit of the values. (Refer to the definition given) Now, what we were expected to mark here was the fact that whatever is the average (in this case, it is A), surplus generated by the marks of 3rd student will be same as deficit incurred due to 15th student. So, rusticating both of them is not going to create any difference on average marks of the class (remember marks are in AP). And similar will be the impact of rusticating 7th student and 11th student and then finally 9th student.
So, A = B

2100 = 10X
X= 210

We write down all the digits from 1-9 side by side. Now. we put "+" between as many digits as we wish to. so that the sum of numbers become 666.It is explained below: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 = 666`

Now suppose we put plus signs al following places: 12 + 3 5 + 67 + 89 = 513` Since there are four numbers, so the average can be calculated by dividing the bum by 4. What is the average if the sum is 666? 

In the above question, what is the average if the sum is 261?

Detailed Solution for Arun Sharma Test: Averages- 3 - Question 15

261 is possible only if we take 123 +45 + 6 + 78 + 9 So, the average will be 261/5 = 52.2
