Average

 

What is Average?

The result obtained by adding several quantities together and then dividing this total by the number of quantities is called Average.

The main term of average is equal distribution of a value among all which may distribute persons or things. We obtain the average of a number using formula that is sum of observations divided by Number of observations.

Here is average based some fact and formula and some average shortcut tricks examples. The problem is given in Quantitative Aptitude which is a very essential paper in ssc exam. Given below are some more example for practicing.

Formula:

  • Average: = (Sum of observations / Number of observations).

 

Find the Average Speed

  • If a person travels a distance at a speed of x km/hr and the same distance at a speed of y km/hr then the average speed during the whole journey is given by-   
  • If a person covers A km at x km/hr and B km at y km/hr and C km at z km/hr, then the average speed in covering the whole distance is- 

When a person leaves the group and another person joins the group in place of that person then-

  • If the average age is increased,
    Age of new person = Age of separated person + (Increase in average × total number of persons)
  • If the average age is decreased,
    Age of new person
     = Age of separated person – (Decrease in average × total number of persons)

 

When a person joins the group-In case of increase in average

  • Age of new member = Previous average + (Increase in average × Number of members including new member)

In case of decrease in average

  • Age of new member = Previous average – (Decrease in average × Number of members including new member)

 

In the Arithmetic Progression there are two cases when the number of terms is odd and second one is when number of terms is even.

  • So when the number of terms is odd the average will be the middle term.
  • when the number of terms is even then the average will be the average of two middle terms.

 

Some Important Examples

 

Examples 1: what will be the average of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17?

Solution: Average is the middle term when the number of terms is odd, but before that let’s checks whether it is in A.P or not, since the common difference is same so the series is in A.P. So the middle term is 15 which is our average of the series.

 

Example 2: What will be the average of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18?

Solution: We have discussed that when the number of terms are even then the average will be the average of two middle terms.

Now the two middle terms are 15 and 16, but before that the average we must check that the series should be A.P. Since the common difference is same for each of the term we can say that the series is in A.P. and the average is (16+15)/2 = 15.5

Example 3:The average of five numbers is 29. If one number is excluded the average becomes 27. What is the excluded number ?

Answer :

let the excluded number is

= (29 x 5) – ( 27 x 4 )

= 145 – 108

= 37 .

Example 4: Find the average of first 20 natural numbers?

Answer:

Sum of first n natural numbers = n ( n + 1 ) /2

So, we can find easily average of first 20 natural numbers 20 x 21 / 2 = 210

So, then Required average is = 210 / 20 = 10.5.

 

 

Example 5

Find the average of first 20 multiplies of 5 .

Answer:

Required average = 5 ( 1 + 2 + 3 +……………….. + 20) /20

= ( 5 x 20 x 21 / 20 x 2) = 2100 / 40 = 52.5 .

So the Required average is 52.5.

Answer:3 Option A

 

Explanation:

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

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

Explanation:

Let the average age of the whole team by x years.

 11x – (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)

 11x – 9x = 46

 2x = 46

 x = 23.

So, average age of the team is 23 years.

 

Answer:7 Option B

 

Explanation:

Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:

P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 …. (i)

Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 …. (ii)

P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 …. (iii)

Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:  2(P + Q + R) = 33000  or   P + Q + R = 16500 …. (iv)

Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.

  • P’s monthly income = Rs. 4000.

Answer:17 Option B

 

Explanation:

 I. Total candidates interviewed by 3 panels = (15 x 3) = 45.

II. Let x candidates be interviewed by C.

Number of candidates interviewed by A = (x + 2).

Number of candidates interviewed by B = (x + 1).

 x + (x + 2) + (x + 1) = 45

 3x = 42

 x = 14

Hence, the correct answer is (B).

 

 

 

Answer:18 Option D

 

Explanation:

Let there be x children.

I gives, age of teacher = x years.

II gives, average age of (x + 1) persons = (x + 1) years.

 Teacher’s age = (x + 1) (x + 1) – x2 = (x2 + 1 + 2x) – x2 = (1 + 2x)

Thus, teacher’s age cannot be obtained.

 Correct answer is (D)

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level courses that are offered to high school students. AP courses are designed to be more challenging than regular high school courses, and they can be used to earn college credit.

There are many different AP courses available, covering a wide range of subjects. Some of the most popular AP courses include AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, AP European History, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, AP Physics 1 and 2, AP Statistics, AP United States Government and Politics, and AP United States History.

AP courses are typically offered during the junior and senior years of high school. To take an AP course, students must typically have a good academic record and be able to demonstrate that they are prepared for the rigors of college-level work.

AP courses are not easy, but they can be very rewarding. If you are a high school student who is looking for a challenge and want to earn college credit, then AP courses may be a good option for you.

Here is a more detailed look at some of the most popular AP courses:
