EXPLANATION
Q.1.(D)

Q.2.(C)

Q.3.(D)
Q.4.(B) Average of 6 numbers = 18
=> Total sum of the numbers = (18 × 6) = 108
Let excluded number = x
New average

108 − x = 17 × 5 = 85
x = 108 − 85 = 23
Q.5.(A) We know that the average of first n odd numbers is n.

Q.6.(A)

Q.7.(C)

Q.8.(C)
Q.9.(B)

11th number = 74
13th number = 40

Average =
Q.10.(C) New mean = (17 × 12 + 16) ÷ 11 = 220 ÷ 11 = 20

Q.11.(C)

Q.12.(A) 19×x + 110 = (x +4) 20

 19x + 110 = 20x + 80

 x = 30

 Required average = 30 + 4 = 34
Q.13.(D) Total weight of 12 persons= x + 33 + 11 × 95

Total weight of 12 persons= 12x

According to the question,

12x = x + 33 + 1045

11x = 1078

x = 98

Weight of 12th person= 98 + 33 = 131 kg.

Q.14.(D) Required average =

=
when p, q, r, s and t are same, then these numbers are consecutive odd numbers.
so average = r + 4
Q.15.(A)
 Average of the 9th and the 10th number =

Q.16.(D) (n + 1)/2 = 51/2

= 25.5

Q.17.(C) 11 × 37 = 407

10 × 35 = 350

407 – 350 = 57

Q.18.(B) Sum of the marks = 80 × 10 = 800

Lowest score = 800 – 92 – 81 × 8

= 800 – 92 – 648

= 60

Q.19.(B) Let the total number of numbers in the group be (x + 8).

According to the question,

(x + 8) × 20 = x × 22 + 8 × 17

20x + 160 = 22x + 136

24 = 2x

x = 12

Total numbers = 20

Q.20.(D) Fifth number of Set-I = 621/9 = 69

Smallest number of Set-I = 61

Smallest number of Set-II = 61 + 15 = 76

Sum of 6 consecutive even numbers = 76 + 78 + 80 + 82 + 84 + 86 = 486

Required average = 486 / 6 = 81

Q.21.(A) Number of persons in category A = x

x × 70 + (100 – x) × 87.5 = 84 × 100

70x + 87.5 × 100 – 87.5x = 8400

8750 – 17.5x = 8400

17.5x = 350

x = 20

Q.22.(A) x1 + x2 + x3 = 360 … (I)

Required average =
Q.23.(A) New average = (12 × 49 + 55.5)/ 13 = 49.5

Q.24.(D) A + R + D = 70 × 3 = 210 … (i)

A + R + D + V = 66 × 4 = 264

V = 54 kg.

R + D + V + T = 75 × 4 = 300

R + D = 300 – 54 – 60 = 186

From (i),

A = 210 – 186 = 24 kg.
