Average Questions Solutions
1. (e) Third number = 5 × 49 – 2 × 48 – 2 × 28
= 245 – 96 – 56 = 93
2. (c) Third number = 5 × 57.8 – 2 × 77.5 – 2 × 46
= 289 – 155 – 92 = 42
3. (c) Speed of bike = Distance/Time = 186/3 = 62 kmph
Speed of bus = 8 × 62 = 496 kmph
Distance covered by bus in 10 hours
= 496 × 10 = 4960 km
4. (b) Required average = (125 + 236 + 334 + 486 + 564 + 625 + 702 + 800)/8 = 3872/8 = 482
5. (a) Total height of four girls = 4 × 150 = 600 cm
Total height of three girls = 3 × 148 = 444 cm
Height of fourth girls = 600 – 444 = 156 cm
6. (c) Let the even numbers A, B, C and D be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x
+ 6 respectively.
Now, according to the question,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 4 × 37
4x + 12 = 148
4x = 148 – 12 = 136
x = 136/4 = 34
A = 34 and C = (34 + 4 =) 38
A × C = 34 × 38 = 1292
- Alternate Method :
Average of consecutive even or odd numbers = a + (n–1), where a is the smallest number.
So, average of four consecutive even numbers = a + (4 – 1)
or, 37 = a + 3
or, a = 37 – 3 = 34
A = 34, B = 36, C = 38, D = 40
Product of A and C = 34 × 38 = 1292
7. (a) Sum of eigth numbers = 474 × 8 = 3792
Let missing number be x
533 + 128 + 429 + 225 + 305 + 601 + 804 + x = 3792
3025 + x = 3792
x = 3792 – 3025
x = 767
8. (b) Let the sum of maximum marks of all the subjects be X.
or,
(X × 85)/100 = (103 + 111 + 98 + 110 + 88)
X = (510 × 100)/85 = 600
Maximum marks of each subject = 600/5 = 120
9. (c) Sum of the heights of all the girls = 148 × 21 = 3108 cm
Sum of the heights of the teacher and all the girls
= 149 × 22 = 3278 cm
Teacher’s height = 3278 – 3108 = 170 cm
10. (c) Total weight of 21 girls = 21 × 58 = 1218 kg
Total weight of 21 girls and teacher
= 22 × 59 = 1298 kg
Weight of the teacher = (1298 – 1218) = 80 kg
