The average of eleven numbers is 80. The average of the first four numbers is 74.5 and that of the next four numbers is 82.5. The nineth number is 6 more than the tenth number, and the tenth number is 6 less than the eleventh number. What is the average of the tenth and eleventh numbers?
Clearly,
Sum of 11 numbers =
Also, Sum of first eight numbers =
So, Sum of last three numbers = 880 – 628 = 252
Now, Let 10th number = x
then, 9th number = x + 6
and, 11th number = x + 6
⇒ x+6 + x +x+6 = 252
⇒ 3x + 12 = 252
⇒ 3x = 240
⇒ x = 80
⇒ 9th number =11th number = 86
⇒ Required Average of the tenth and eleventh numbers =
The average of 12 number is 39 . The average of last 5 number is 35 , and that of the first four number is 40 . The fifth number is 10 less than the sixth number and 7 more than the seventh number. The average of the fifth and sixth number is:
Given,
Sum of 5th, 6th and 7th number = 468 - 375 = 93
3x-27= 93

So,
In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 6.4. What should be the average run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 264 runs?
Let the run rate for the last 40 overs was
Let there are
Sum of
Now, each observation is increased by 8 , So
New sum of observations
It is then divided by 2 , So

Average of 19 students
one student were recorded as 65 in place of 56
So that total marks will be 9 less
So the actual average
Increase in total marks of all 30 students
Decrease in total marks of all 30 students
Overall change
Now the correct avg of all students
Prime no between 25 and

Average weight of the remaining students decreases by
The average weight of 24 persons in a group is 72 kg. If 3 persons with average weight 78 kg leave the group and 4 persons of average weight 75 kg join the group, then what will be the average weight (in kg ) of the persons in the group now?
The average weight of 6 persons increases by 1.5 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them who was weighing 65 kg. What is the weight of the new person?
If the incoming person was of the same weight as the outgoing person, there would be no change in the average weight, but due to the arrival of the new person, the average weight increased by 1.5 kg, which means that its weight was equal to that of the outgoing person. Also increases the weight of all by 1.5 kg
therefore
Weight of the new person
