AVERAGE

What is the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing average?

In simple words we can say that average is that common value which may
be assigned to all and after doing this the end result will be the same.

The average of the number of quantities of observations of the same kind

is their sum divided by their number. The average is also called average
value or mean value or arithmetic mean.

Average=
∑ of Terms
Number of Terms
● 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 formulae that is the sum of observations divided by Number
of observations.

● Here are Average based on some facts and formulas and some shortcut
tricks with examples. Below are some more examples 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

journey is given by- 2𝑥𝑦 𝑥+𝑦

distance at a speed of y km/hr then the average speed during the whole

● If a person covers A km at x km/hr and B km at y km/hr and C km at z

A +B+ C
km/hr, then the average speed in covering the whole distance is A B C
+ +
X Y Z

Note -

● 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 the
second one is when the 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.

Average

An average or an arithmetic mean of given data is the sum of the given

observations divided by number of observations

Important Formulae Related to Average of numbers

1. Average of first n natural number=(n+1)/2

2. Average of first n even number = (n+1)

3. Average of first n odd number = n

4. Average of consecutive number = (First number + Last number)/2

5. Average of 1 to n odd numbers = (Last odd number+1)/2

6. Average of 1 to n even numbers = (Last even number+2)/2

7. Average of squares of first n natural numbers = [(n+1) (2n+1)]/6

8. Average of the cubes of first n natural number =[n(n+1)2]/4

9. Average of n multiples of any number =[Number×(n+1)]/2

Concept 1

If the average of n1 observations is a1; the average of n2 observations is

a2 and so on, then Average of all the observations = (n1× a_1+n2
×a2+......)/(n1+n2+........)

Concept 2

If the average of m observations is a and the average of n observations

ma−nb
taken out of is b, then Average of rest of the observations=
m−n
Example1:

A man bought 20 cows in RS. 200000. If the average cost of 12 cows is Rs.
12500, then what will be the average cost of remaining cows?

Solution:

Here m = 20, n = 12, a = 10000, b = 12500

 (2010000−12× 12500)
average cost of remaining cows (20-8) cows = =Rs
(20−8)
6250

Concept 3

If the average of n students in a class is a, where average of passed

students is x and average of failed students is y, then

Number of students passed= [Total Students (Total Average-Average of

failed students)]/ (Average of passed students-Average of failed students)
= [n(a-y)]/(x-y)

Example2:

In a class, there are 75 students whose average marks in the annual

examination is 35. If the average marks of passed students is 55and
average marks of failed students is 30, then find out the number of
students who failed.

Solution:

Here, n = 75, a = 35, x = 55, y = 30

Number of students who passed = 75(35-30)/ (55-30) = 15

Number of students who failed = 75-15 = 60

Concept 4

If the average of total components in a group is a, where average of n

components (1st part) is b and average of remaining components (2nd
part) is c, then Number of remaining components (2nd part) =[n(a-(2)]/(c-
(1))

Example3:

The average salary of the entire staff in an office is Rs. 200 per day. The
average salary of officers is Rs. 550 and that of non-officers is Rs. 120. If
the number of officers is 16, then find the numbers of non-officers in the
office.

Solution:

Here n= 16, a = 200, b = 550, c = 120

Number of non -officer = 16(200-550)/ (120-200) = 70

Average Speed

Average speed is defined as total distance travelled divided by total time

taken.
Average speed=Total distance travelled/ Total time taken

Case 1

If a person covers a certain distance at a speed of A km/h and again

covers the same distance at a speed of B km/h, then the average speed
2 AB
during the whole journey will be
A +B

Case 2

If a person covers three equal distances at the speed of A km/h, B km/h

and C km/h respectively, then the average speed during the whole
3 ABC
Journey will be
AB+ BC+CA

Case 3 If distance P is covered with speed x, distance Q is covered with

speed y and distance R is covered with speed z, then for the whole
journey, Average speed= (P+Q+R+....)/ (P/x+Q/y+R/z+...)

Example 4:

A person covers 20 km distance with a speed of 5 km/h, then he covers

the next 15 km with a speed of 3 km/h and the last 10 km is covered by
him with a speed of 2 km/h. Find out his average speed for the whole
journey.

Solution:

Average speed = (20 +15 +10)/ (20/5+15/3+10/2) = (45/14)

Case 4

If a person covers P part of his total distance with speed of x, Q part of

total distance with speed of y and R part of total distance with speed of
z,then Average speed=1/(P/x+Q/y+R/z+......)

Example 5: The average of 6 consecutive even numbers is 21. Find the

largest number? Solution:

Largest no. = A + (n−1)

A = average

n = no. of terms

Largest no. = 21 + (6 -1) = 26

Example 6:

The average of 6 consecutive odd numbers is 22. Find the smallest

number?
Solution:

Smallest no. = A - (n - 1)

A = average

n = no. of terms

Smallest no. = 22 - (6 - 1) = 17

Example 7:

The average of 5 consecutive even numbers is 46. Find the smallest

number?

Solution:

Smallest no. = A - (n - 1)

A = average

n = no. of terms

Smallest no. = 46 -( 5 -1) = 42

Example8:

Find the average of the first 100 natural numbers?

Solution:

Average = (𝑛+1) 2 = (100+2) 2 = 50.5

Example 9:

The average of 5 numbers is 29. If one number is excluded, the average

becomes 27. Find the excluded number?

Solution:

Excluded no. = (5×29 - 4×27) = (145-108) = 37

Example 10: The average age of 36 students is 15 years. When the

teacher's age is included in it, the average increases by 1. What is the
teacher’s age?

Solution:

Teacher’s age = (37×16 - 36×15) = (592-540) = 52

Example 11:

The average weight of 8 persons increases by 2.5 kg when a new person

comes in place of one of them weighing 40 kg. What is the weight of a
new person?
Solution:

Total weight increased = 8 x 2.5 = 20 kg

weight of the new person = 40 + 20 = 60 kg

Example 12:

The average weight of 10 persons decreases by 2.5 kg when a new person

comes in place of one of them weighing 70 kg. What is the weight of a
new person?

Solution:

Total weight decreased = 10 x 2.5 = 25 kg

Weight of the new person = 70 - 25 = 45 kg

Example 13:

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases
his average by 3 runs. Find his average after the 17th inning.

Solution:

Let the average after 17th inning = X and average after 16th inning = (X -
3)

16(X - 3) + 87 = 17X

16X - 48 +87 = 17X

X = 39

Example 14:

The average of 11 results is 60. If the average of first 6 results is 58 and

that of last 6 results is 63. Find the 6th result?

Solution:

A11 = 60

Average of first 6 (A6) = 58

Average of last 6 (A6) = 63

6th result = (58 × 6 + 63 × 6 - 60 × 11) = (348+378) - 660 = 726 -660 =

66

Example 15:

The average of a, 11,23 and 17 is 15 and the average of a, b,12 and 25 is

16. Find the value of a: b?
Solution:

a + 11 + 23 +17 = 15 x 4

a=9

a + b + 12 + 25 = 16 x 4

a + b = 27

9 + b = 27

b = 18

a: b = 9: 18 = 1: 2

Example 16:

The average age of all the 100 employees in an office is 29 years, where
2/5 employees are female and the ratio of average age of male to female
is 5: 7. Find the average age of female employees?

Solution:

60 × 5x + 40 × 7x = 29 ×100

300x + 280x = 2900

x=5

average age of female employees = 7x = 7 x 5 = 35 years

Example 17:

The average of two numbers A & B is 20, an average of B & C is 19 and

average of C & A is 21, So find the value of A?

Solution:

A + B = 40

B + C = 40

C + A = 42

On adding above three 2(A + B + (3) =40 + 38 + 42= 120

= A + B + C = 60

A = (A + B + C) – (B + C) = 60 – 38= 22

Example 18:

Three years ago, the average age of a family of 5 members was 17 years.
A baby having been born; the average age of the family is the same today.
The present age of the baby is:
Solution:

Total age of 5 members, 3 years ago = (17×5) = 85 years

Total age of 5 members, now = [85+(3×5)] = 85 +15 = 100 years

Total age of 6 members now = (17×6) = 102 years

The age of the baby = (102-100) = 2 years.

Example 19:

The average temperature of a town in the first four days of a month was
58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was
60 degrees. The temperature of the first and fifth days was in the ratio
7:8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day? Solution:

First four days average Temperature =580

1,2,3, 4th days total temp. = 58×4 = 232

Then 2,3,4,5 days total temp. = 60×4 = 240

Let the unknown temp, be x

5th day – 1st day = 240-232

=8(2,3,4 days temp. is common)

Given the ratio of first and fifth day is 7: 8

8x-7x=8

x=8

Fifth day's temperature = 8x=8x8=64
