Example #5 – Average practice set

In an examination it is required to get 34% of the aggregate marks to pass. A student gets 270 marks and is declared failed by 7% marks. What are the maximum aggregate marks a student can get ?
Answer :
So, 34% = 270 + 7%

Example #17

The average monthly income of A and B is Rs.6040. The monthly average income of B and C is Rs.7500 and monthly average income of A and C is Rs. 6500. Find the income of A in a monthly income ?
Answer:
Step 1: here is ABC given respectively monthly income, hence we need to find both income.
( A + B ) = ( 6040 x 2 ) = 12080, ( B + C ) =( 7500 x 2 ) = 15000, ( C + A ) = ( 6500 x 2 ) = 13000
Step 2: If we add 3 income 2( A + B + C ) = 2 x ( 12080 + 15000 + 13000 ) = 40080 or A + B + C = 40080 / 2 = 20040.
Step 3: So we get the income of A Subtract income of ( A + B + C ) – ( B + C ) = (20040 – 15000 ) = 5040.5.

 

 

Example #18

The average of 4 consecutive odd numbers P , Q , R , S is 66. What would be the product of P and S?
Answer :
Average is 66
P Q R S
63 64 65 66 67 68 69
Product of ( P x S ) = ( 63 x 69 ) = 4347.

Example #19

In a office the average salary of employee is Rs.7000. The average salary of 6 office employee is Rs. 12,000 and the rest of employee salary is Rs.5000. Find the total number of employee in that office.
Answer: let the total number of employee is x, and average of all employee is
= 7000 = 7000x.
average salary of 6 employee is = 12,000 = 6 x 12,000 = 72,000.
So remaining average of employee is = 5000 X ( x – 6 ) = 5000x – 30,000
7000x = 72,000 + 5000x – 30,000
2000x = 42,000
x = 21.

Example #20

A city center has an average of 610 visitors on Sunday and 340 on other days. The average  number of visitors per day  in a month of 30 days Beginning with a Sunday is.
Answer :
Since the month begins with a Sunday, So there will be five Sundays in the month
So, ( 610 x 5 + 340 x 25 ) / 30
then, 3050 + 8500 / 30
then, 11550 / 30
therefore, 385.

 

 

Example #21

The average marks of first 54 group members is  62 and second 62 group members is 65, and third 48 group members is 70 respectively then, What would be the average marks of all the students ?
Answer :
Step 1: At First we find the total students marks according with 3 group
= ( 54 x 62 ) + ( 62 x 65 )  + ( 48 x 70 ) = ( 3348 + 4030 + 3360 ) = 10738.
Step 2: Now we need to find average marks of all three groups is,
Total groups members are = ( 54 + 62 + 48 ) = 164.
the average marks of all the students = 10738 / 164 = 65.47.

The average age of 15 boys is 18 years in the Maths class and that of 13 girls is ages 15 years. What is the average age of total maths class ?
Answer :
In a maths class 15 boys ages 18 years = ( 15 x 18 ) = 270
In a maths class 13 girls ages 15 years = ( 13 x 15 ) = 195
So average age of total maths class is =  270 + 195 / 28 = 465 / 28 = 16.607.

Example #29

The average speed of a bike is 9/4 times the average speed of a  car. A bus covers 540km in 27 hours. How much distance will the bike cover in 5 hours, if the speed of the car is twice speed of the bus?
Solution :
Speed of bike = 9xspeed of car/4
And, speed of bus = 540/27 = 20km/hr
And, speed of car = 40km/hr
So, speed of bike = 40 x 9/4 = 90km/hr
distance covers by bike in 1hr = 90km
5 hrs = 90×5 = 450km.
