Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Let, the total number of employee be X.
The average salary of all employee is ( 7000 x X ) = 7000X
Average salary of 6 employee is ( 12000 x 6 ) = 72000
So, the average of remaining employees are ( 5000 x ( X – 6 )) = 5000X – 30000
So, the total number of employees in that company is:
7000X = 72000 + ( 5000X – 30000 )
2000X = 42000
X = 21
So, total 21 employees are their in that company.

Example #2 – Average Methods Example 6

The average of 5 consecutive even number P, Q, R, S and T is 42. What is the product of P and R?

  1. 1596
  2. 1569
  3. 1759
  4. 1796

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
P = 38
Q = 40
R = 42
S = 44
T = 46
So, the product of P and R is ( 38 x 42 ) = 1596.

Example #3 – Average Methods Example 6

The average monthly income of A and B is Rs.6040/-. The monthly average income of B and C is Rs.7500/-. The monthly average income of A and C is Rs.6500/-. Find the monthly income of A?

  1. Rs.5080/-
  2. Rs.4080/-
  3. Rs.5040/-
  4. Rs.4050/-

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
So, Monthly income of A and B together is ( A + B ) = ( 6040 x 2 ) = 12080
And, Monthly income of B and C together is ( B + C ) = ( 7500 x 2 ) = 15000
And, Monthly income of A and C together is ( A + C ) = ( 6500 x 2 ) = 13000

Now, if we add 3 income 2( A + B + C ) = ( 12080 + 15000 + 13000 ) = 40080
or, A + B + C = 40080 / 2 = 20040.

So, the monthly income of A is ( A + B + C ) – ( B + C ) = (20040 – 15000 ) = 5040.

So, Sum of all numbers is ( 5 x 4.5 ) = 22.5
Sum of first and second number is ( 2 x 3.5 ) = 7
Sum of third and fourth number is ( 2 x 3.7 ) = 7.4
Therefore, the last number is ( 22.5 – ( 7.4 + 7 )) = 8.1.

Example #5 – Average Methods Example 6

The average of 5 numbers is 62. And, the average of the second and the third number is 45. The average of the first and the fifth number is 66. What would be the fourth number?

  1. 67
  2. 88
  3. 96
  4. 75

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
So, Sum of all Five numbers is ( 62 x 5 ) = 310
Sum of second and third number is ( 45 x 2 ) = 90
Sum of first and fifth number is ( 66 x 2 ) = 132
Therefore, the fourth number is ( 310 – ( 132 + 90 )) = 88.

    out of 4numbers,average of first 3 numbers is 16 and average of last 3 numbers is 15,which is the first number if the last number is 18

    • Admin says:

      As it a consecutive even number’s series, so 42 must be the middle value, i.e, the value of R. So, now we can say that,
      P = 38
      Q = 40
      R = 42
      S = 44
      T = 46

      Now we know the value, so we can easily do the product of P and R.
