Detailed Solution: Question 1

Average =   (76 + 65 + 82 + 67 + 85 )/ 5 = 375/5   =  75.

So, the correct option is 'A'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 2
Save

The average of 5 consecutive even numbers A, B, C, D and E is 52. What is the product of B and E? 

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Let the five consecutive even numbers be x,
x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8 respectively.
According to the question,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 5 × 52

B = x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50 and E = x + 8 = 48 + 8 = 56
 B × E = 50 × 56 = 2800

So, the correct option is 'D'

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

Test: Average- 1 - Question 4
Save

Average score of Rahul, Manish & Suresh is 63. Rahul's score is 15 less than Ajay and 10 more than Manish. If Ajay scored 30 marks more than the average score of Rahul, Manish & Suresh, what is the sum of Manish's and Suresh's score?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Let score of Rahul, Manish, Suresh, Ajay be r, m, s, a respectively 
Average score of Rahul, Manish & Suresh is 63
⇒ Total score of Rahul, Manish & Suresh = 3 x 63 = 189
⇒ r + m + s = 189  —  (i) 
Rahul's score is 15 less than Ajay and 10 more than Manish
r = a - 15 —(2)
r = m + 10 — (3) 
Ajay scored 30 marks more than the average score of Rahul, Manish & Suresh

⇒ 3a = r + m + s + 90 ----(4)
Using the value of r + m + s from (i) in (4)
3a = 189 + 90
a = 93 
Using the value of a in (2)
r = 93 - 15
r = 78 
Using the value of r in (i)
78 + m + 3 = 189
m + s = 111 
i.e., sum of Manish's and Suresh's score = 111

So, the correct option is 'B'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 5
Save

The average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24. Find the largest number.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then 

=>x+3=24=>x=21
So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27 

So, the correct option is 'B'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 6
Save

The average of five positive numbers is 308. The average of first two numbers is 482.5 and the average of last two numbers is 258.5. What is the third number.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Let the numbers be A1, A2 , A3 , A4 , A5

► Average of 5 numbers = (A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5) / 5 = 308

► Now A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 = 308 x 5 = 1540

► Also,A1 + A2 = 482.5 x 2 = 965

and A4 + A5 = 258.5 x 2 = 517 

► A3 = 1540 − 965 − 517 = 58

So, the correct option is 'C'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 7

Average age of 54 girls in a class was found to be 10 years. It was later on realised that the actual age of one of the girls in the class was 8 years but it was wrongly taken as 18. The actual average age of the girls in the class is

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Summation of ages of 54 girls= 54*10= 540 since 18 is mistakely taken in place of 8 so total summation of ages of girls after correction= 540-18+8= 530 Now the actual average age of the girls = 530/54 =9.81

So,the correct option is 'B'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 8
Save

The sum of seven consecutive numbers is 175. What is the sum of the first and the last number

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Sum of seven consecutive numbers x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)+(x+6)=175 7x+21=175
7x=154
x=22
First number will be 22 and consecutive series is 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

Sum of first and last number =22+28=50

So, the correct option is 'D'

Test: Average- 1 - Question 16
Save

The average weight of 15 girls was recorded as 54 kg. If the weight of the teacher was added, the average increased by two kg. What was the teacher's weight.

Detailed Solution: Question 16

Given that average is 54 kg for 15 girls.

(Sum of weight of 15 girls) / 15 = 54

Sum of weight of 15 girls = 15 x 54 = 810

Now weight of teacher is also added so the average becomes 54 + 1 kg = 55 kg

(Sum of weight of 15 girls + Weight of teacher ) / (15 girls + 1 teacher)  = New average = 55 (Given)

(810 + Weight of teacher ) / (16) = 55 + 1

810 + Weight of teacher = 16 (56)

Weight of teacher = 896 - 810 = 86 kg

So, the correct option is 'D'
