Initially, the total weight of 49 students was 49 * 53 = 2,597 kg. With the new student, the average weight becomes 52.5 kg. Thus, for 50 students, the total weight should be 52.5 * 50 = 2,625 kg. Therefore, the weight of the new student is 2,625 - 2,597 = 28 kg.

Assuming the combined age of the husband and wife then was 54 (i.e., 2*27 when the child was born), and now the average age for three is 21, the current total age is 3*21 = 63, and thus, the child must now be 63 - 54 = 9 years old.

Let the sum of the two numbers be 2 * 46 = 92. The total of all three numbers must be 3 * 43 = 129. Therefore, the third number is 129 - 92 = 37.

To find the sale on the fifth day, calculate the total sales needed to achieve an average of 6,050 over five days. The total sales over four days is 5,445 + 5,937 + 5,865 + 6,562 = 23,809. For an average of 6,050 over five days, the total sales must be 5 * 6,050 = 30,250. Therefore, the sales on the fifth day should be 30,250 - 23,809 = 6,441.

The original total age of 65 men was 65 * 32 = 2,080 years. After five more men joined, the total number of the group became 70, with an average age of 34, making the total age 70 * 34 = 2,380. Therefore, the combined total age of the five men must be 2,380 - 2,080 = 300, yielding their average as 300 / 5 = 60 years.

The initial sum of the numbers with the incorrect data was 36 * 45 = 1,620. Correcting the error means adding the difference between 84 and 48, which is 36. The corrected total becomes 1,620 + 36 = 1,656. The corrected average thus becomes 1,656 / 36 = 46.

When each number in a set is multiplied by a constant, the average of the set is also multiplied by that constant. Therefore, if the average of the original set is 32 and each number is multiplied by 2, the new average is 32 * 2 = 64.

The total expenditure for five months is 4,600 + 5,600 + 4,800 + 3,800 + 6,000 = 24,800. To achieve an average of 4,500 over six months, the total expenditure must be 6 * 4,500 = 27,000. Therefore, the expenditure for the sixth month should be 27,000 - 24,800 = 2,200.

The total weight of the group of 20 persons was originally 20 * 60 = 1,200 kg. After a new person joins, the average weight becomes 59 kg for 21 persons, making the total 21 * 59 = 1,239 kg. The new person’s weight must be 1,239 - 1,200 = 39 kg. Conceptually, this maintains balance in the alteration of averages, which provides insights into processing such changes.

Six years ago, the total ages of Ravi, Mohan, and Govind were 3 * 32 = 96 years. Therefore, their present total age is 96 + 3 * 6 = 114 years. With Shyam, the total age becomes 4 * 36 = 144 years. Hence, Shyam's age is 144 - 114 = 30 years.
