CHAPTER 11 AVERAGE Example 2. Rahul Dravid in his12th inning makes a score Average of 63 runs and thereby increase his average score by 2. The average (or mean) of a given observation or data What is his average after the 12th inning? is a number which is found on dividing the sum of observations or data by the number of observations (1) 50 (2) 41 (3) 25 (4) 30 or data given. Sol. (2) Let the average of Dravid’s 11 innings be x. Sum of observations Then, the average of 12 innings = x + 2 Average = 11x + 63 Number of observations ∴ = x + 2 ⇒ 12 x + 24 = 11x + 63 ⇒ x = 39 12 If x1 , x2 , x3 , … , xn are n numbers, then the average of Hence, the average of 12 innings = 39 + 2 = 41 x + x2 + x3 + … + xn these numbers is x = 1 n Example 3. The average of 5 numbers is 496. If two of them are 117 and 140, find the average of remaining Example 1. The marks obtained by a student are 40 , 50 , three numbers. 60 , 70 , 80. Find his average marks. (1) 239 (2) 717 (1) 60 (2) 50 (3) 741 (4) 637 (3) 40 (4) 30 Sol. (3) Sum of 5 numbers = 496 × 5 = 2480 Sol. (1) Average marks 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80 Sum of two given numbers = 117 + 140 = 257 = Sum of remaining 3 numbers = 2480 − 257 = 2223 5 2223 = 300 = 60 ∴ Average of these 3 numbers = = 741 5 3 Entrance Corner 1.

Sum of 20 observation = 20 × 65 = 1300 10. Q First five even numbers are = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 after subtract 96 and add 69, we get 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 Their average = sum of correct 20 observation 5 = 1300 − 96 + 63 = 1273 30 = =6 Hence, mean of correct 20 observation 5 1273 3 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 32 = = 63.65 11. Average = = = 6.4 20 5 5 567 + 434 + 323 + 290 + 401 12. Average of 3 numbers = 10 2. Average = 5 ∴ Sum of 3 numbers = 10 × 3 = 30 2015 ∴ Average of first 2 numbers = 9 = = 403 5 ∴ Sum of first 2 numbers = 9 × 2 = 18 3. Now, total values = 20 × 18 = 360 ∴ Third number = 30 − 18 = 12 New total = 360 − 3 × 20 = 360 − 60 = 300 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 40 300 13. Average = = =8 ∴New average = = 15 5 5 20 14. Average of two numbers = 17 4. Q Average of 4 numbers = 7 ∴ Sum of two numbers = 17 × 2 = 34 ∴ Sum of 4 numbers = 4 × 7 = 28 One number = 21 Sum of first 3 numbers = 20 Then, other number = 34 − 21 = 13 Hence, fourth number = 28 − 20 = 8 15. Sum of the age of 5 boys = 15 × 5 = 75 yr 5. Required average 6 + 0 + 12 + 14 + 13 45 Other boy join, whose age = 75 + 15 = 90 yr = = =9 5 5 ∴ Average age of the whole group 90 6. Average height of the students = = 15 yr 30 + 40 + 50 + 60 + 70 250 6 = = = 50 5 5 16. Required average 7. Total score in first two matches = 2 × 27 = 54 140 + 135 + 142 + 138 + 140 695 = = 139 Total score in other 3 matches = 3 × 32 = 96 5 5 54 + 96 150 4 + 5 + 3.5 + 7.5 + 9.5 + 6.5 ∴ Average of 5 matches = = = 30 17. Average = 5 5 6 36 8. Sum of 20 values = 18 × 20 = 360 = =6 6 after subtract 3 from each, value, we get 18. Average of 3 numbers = 24 Sum of new 20 values = 360 − 3 × 20 ∴ Sum of 3 numbers = 24 × 3 = 72 = 360 − 60 = 300 300 ∴ Third number = 72 − ( 18 + 29) Therefore, new averagee = = 15 = 72 − 47 = 25 20 9. Total Ages of 3 children = 9 + 12 + 10 = 31 yr 19. Average income of family member 4000 + 3000 + 4400 11400 Total age of 4 children = 11 × 4 = 44 yr = = 3 3 ∴Age of 1 child = 44 − 31 = 13 yr =` 3800 84 Navodaya Vidyalaya (Class VI) Entrance Exam 20. Q Average score in 10 matches = 45.6 runs 5600 + 4500 ∴ Average expenditure = ∴Total score in 10 matches 12 = 45.6 × 10 = 456 runs 10100 2525 2 = = = ` 841 Q Average score in 6 matches = 48 runs 12 3 3 1 1 1 1 12 + 6 + 4 + 3 ∴Total score in 6 matches = 48 × 6 = 288 runs + + + ∴ Sum of the runs scored in last 4 matches 24. Average = 2 4 6 8 = 24 4 4 = 456 − 288 = 168 runs 25 ∴ Average score in last 4 matches = 24 = 25 = 25 = 0.26 168 4 24 × 4 96 = = 42 runs 4 8 + 6 + 0 + 9 + 7 30 25. Average = = =6 21. Sum of 5 consecutive even numbers starting 5 5 with 2 26. Total students in class I to V = 29 × 5 = 145 = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30 30 Total students in class I to III = 31 × 3 = 93 Average = =6 Total students in class IV to V = 145 − 93 = 52 5 5 + 5.2 + 6.3 + 7.2 + 6.3 ∴ Average of class IV and V = 52 = 26 22.

Q Sum of first 10 natural number = 15 × 31 = 465 yr = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55 ∴ Age of class teacher = 465 − 420 = 45 yr 86 Navodaya Vidyalaya (Class VI) Entrance Exam 8. Marks of new man = 120 + 3 × 4 13. Average temperature from Monday to Thursday = 120 + 12 = 132 = 48° ∴ Total temperature = 48° × 4 = 192° 9. Total of 11 results = 11 × 30 = 330 Temperature of Monday = 42° Total of first 5 results = 25 × 5 = 125 ∴Temperature of Tuesday to Thursday Total of last 5 results = 28 × 5 = 140 = 192° − 42° = 150° 6th value = 330 − ( 125 + 140) Now, total temperature from Tuesday to Friday = 330 − 265 = 65 = 52° × 4 = 208° 10. Let the average of Sachin’s of the 16th inning be x. ∴ Temperature of Friday = 208° − 150° = 58° Then, the sum of 17 innings = 16x + 85 42 + 72 + 85 + 64 + 54 + 73 14. Average weight = and ( 16x + 85) = 17 ( x + 3) 6 ∴ x = 85 − 51 = 34 = 390 = 65 kg ∴ Average after 17 innings = 34 + 3 = 37 6 11. Total of 67 values = 67 × 35 = 2345 15. Total age of 5 officers = 32 × 5 = 160 Let the age of their supervisor be x. Then Value to be added in all = 4 × 67 = 268 160 + x = 6 × 33 ⇒ x = 198 − 160 = 38 yr ∴ Total value now = 2345 + 268 = 2613 2613 16. In present situation, their average age ∴ Average = = 39 = ( 35 + 5) = 40 yr 67 12. Previous total = 25 × 78.4 = 1960 17. Total age of 11 players + 1 coach = 12 × 18 = 216 yr ∴ New total = 1960 + 96 − 69 = 1987 Total age of 11 players = 11 × 17 = 187 yr 1987 ∴ New average = = 79.48 ∴ Age of coach = 216 − 187 = 29 yr 25 Self Practice 1.
