To find the combined average, use the properties of averages separately: (70a + 81b + 90c)/(a + b + c) where (70a + 81b)/(a + b) = 76 and (81b + 90c)/(b + c) = 86. Solving gives a combined average of 82 .

Let n be the initial number of students. Using (100 + nx) / (n + 1) = x + 3 and (80 + nx) / (n + 1) = x + 1, solve these equations to find n = 10 .

With n tests, the scenario meets: (total after 30 - 25 * 15) /(n - 15) = 30 + 2; solve alongside (total before last 15 - 30 * 15) /(n-15) = 25 - 1. This algebra results in 45 total tests .

In three years, each of the 10 advisors would have aged by 3 years, increasing the total age by 30 years. To keep the average the same, the new advisor must be 30 years younger than the one replaced. Thus, the difference is 30 years .

To determine the temperature on Thursday, note that the equations for the averages are as follows: For Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, (M + T + W) / 3 = 78.625, thus M + T + W = 235.875. For Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, (T + W + Th) / 3 = 83.125, thus T + W + Th = 249.375. It's given that M = (4/7) * Th. Replace M in the first equation and solve together with the second equation to find Th = 36.25°C .

First calculate the total weights for the sets. A + B + C + D = 240, A + B + C + D + E = 285, hence E = 45. B + C + D + E + F = 305, knowing F = E + 5, so F = 50. From E + F = 95, verify consistency. Finally, weight of A is 240 - (285 - 240) = 30 kg .

The error in marks affects the total sum of marks. The extra marks were 95 - 59 = 36. Therefore, the total marks need to be reduced by 36. The initial total was 63.05 * 50 = 3152.5. Corrected total becomes 3152.5 - 36 = 3116.5. The new average is 3116.5 / 50 = 62.33 .

X is 32 and Y is 28 making the sum 60. Replacing these with people reducing group average by 1 year implies the total new age is 11 * average new - 11 = 11 * (average - 1). Solving gives the replacements' average as 26 years .

Let the initial number of students be n, and their average weight x. From 95 kg impacting the group by +2 kg, we get (95 + nx) / (n + 1) = x + 2. Similarly, (125 + nx) / (n + 1) = x - 3. Solving these simultaneous equations yields n = 8 .

Using the given conditions: M + T + W = 235.875 and T + W + Th = 249.375 with M = (4/7)Th, solve for M through substitution: M ≈ 20.86°C .
