1. Find the average of 4,6,9 and 11
Sol:given numbers are small apply conventional formulaSum of the numbers is = 30Average = Sum/No. of Numbers
=30/4=7.5
7
Sol:Numbers are larger: avoid using conventional methodMethod 1
Sum 36
This excess is shared among 6 numbers =36/5=7.2
Average of 6numbers is =Assumed avg. + avg. of excess146+7.2=153.2
146 152 149 162 157
2. Find the average of 146,152, 149, 157 and 162
0 +6 +3 +16 11
assume average 146 and excess available at other numbers are

146,152, 149, 157 and 162
Method 2arranging the numbers in ascending order
Sum 6This excess is shared among 6 numbers =6/5=1.2
Average of 5 numbers is =Assumed avg. + avg. of excess152+1.2=153.2
146 149 152 157 162
-6 -3 0 5 10
assume average 152 and find excess/less available at other numbers are

3. Find the average of 16,24,32,40 and 48
Sol:
Hence middle number 32 is the average

4. Find the average of 16,24,32,40,48 and 56
Sol:
Average of middle numbers is the average
=(32+40)/2=36
16 24 32 40 48 56

5.The avg. of 7 consecutive numbers is 33. the largest of these numbers is?Sol:
7 consecutive numbers
7 consecutive even numbers
7 consecutive odd numbers
All these combinations are in AP and as 7 being odd number, the middle number equals to the average
The largest of numbers is x=33+3=36

6. The avg. of 30 students in a class is 12 years. The avg. age of a group of 5 of the students is 10 years and that of another group of 5 of them is 14 years. What is the avg. of the remaining students?
Excess of 5 students =less required by 5 students
No change in remaining average, hence average of remaining is 12

7. The average of eight numbers is 14. the average of six of these numbers is 16.What is the average of remaining two numbers.
1416
Gain by 6 = loss by 212 = x 2Average loss=6
Average of remaining two = 14-6=8

8. If the average mark of a student in four examinations is 40. If he got 80 marks in 5th Examination. What is the New average ?
Sol:
Assume Avg. of 5 books is 40Excess available at 5th book is 40Increase in average =40/5=8New average=40+8 =48
408080-40=40

9. If the average mark of a student in four examinations is 40. If he got 20 marks in 5th Examination. What is the New average ?
Sol:
Assume Avg. of 5 books is 40less shared by 5th book is 20Decrease in average =-20/5=-4New average=40-4 =36

10. If the avg. age of 30 boys in a class is 15 yrs. When the age of class teacher is included the avg. is 16 years. What is the age of the class teacher?
Sol:
Un contributed age of teacher =Avg. of students= 15
Avg increase due to teacher addition is =New avg – initial avg = 16-15=1Distributed age of teacher =X=1×31=31 Teacher age=assumed average + surplus
=15+X=15+31=46

11. The average of 50 numbers is 38. What is the average of the numbers, if two numbers namely 45 and 55 are discarded.
Excess at 45 and 55 is =7+17=24 38
5545

Less available at 48 numbers is=24/48=0.5
The average of 48 numbers is =38-0.5 =37.5

12. In a group the Avg. income of 6 men is Rs. 500 And that of 5 women is Rs. 280. What is the average income of the group?Sol:
Assume average of 11 members as 280
Then excess average available with 6 men=500-280=220
Total excess income available with 6 men=6×220
Increase in average of 11 members =6×220/11=120
New average =280+ 120=400

13. A class has 2 sections, in one of which there are 40 students with an average of 14.5 years. The average of the class is 14.2 years . If there are be 32 students in the other section, its average is ?
Excess available at 40 students=0.3 × 40=12
Increase in average 32 students=12/32=0.375
Average of 32 students x = 14.2-0.375x = 13.825

15. Mukhesh has twice money as sohan and sohan has 50% more money than pankaj has. If the average money of with them is Rs. 110, then muksh has
Total money available=110*3
3x+1.5X+x =110*35.5 x = 110 *3
x = 110/5.5*3x =60
Mukhesh money= 1.5 x 60=90.
