463. A library has an average of 510 visitors on Sundays and 240 on other days. The average number of visitors per day in a month of 30 days beginning with a Sunday is:
Solution:
Since the month begins with a Sunday, to there will be five Sundays in the month.
$$\eqalign{
\therefore {\text{Required}}\,{\text{average}} \cr
= {\frac{{510 \times 5 + 240 \times 25}}{{30}}} \cr
= \frac{{8550}}{{30}} \cr
= 285 \cr} $$
465. Four years ago, the average age of A and B was 18 years. At present the average age of A, B, and C is 24 years. What would be the age of C after 8 years?
Solution:
Sum of the present ages of A and B
= (18 × 2 + 4 × 2) years
= 44 years
Sum of the present ages of A, B and C
= (24 × 3) years
= 72 years
C's present age
= (72 - 44) years
= 28 years
∴ C's age after 8 years
= (28 + 8) years
= 36 years
466. Out of four numbers the average of the first three is 16 and that of the last three is 15. If the last number is 20, than first number is :
Solution:
Let a, b, c, d are four number
∵ Average of first three number a, b, c = 16
Total of (a + b + c) = 16 × 3 = 48.....(i)
Again
∴ Average of last 3 numbers b, c, d = 15
⇒ Total of (b + c + d) = 15 × 3 = 45.....(ii)
⇒ Subtracting equation (i) - (ii), we get
⇒ (a + b + c) - (b + c + d) = 48 - 45
⇒ a - d = 3
⇒ a = - 20 = 3 [Given d = 20]
⇒ a = 23
⇒ Therefore, first number a = 23
467. The arithmetic mean of the following numbers : 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 and 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7 is -
Solution:
According to the question,
Average = $$\frac{1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7}{28}$$
Average = $$\frac{1 + 2 × 2 + 3 × 3 + 4 × 4 + 5 × 5 + 6 × 6 + 7 × 7}{28}$$
Average = $$\frac{1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49}{28}$$
Average = 5
468. The average of 8 numbers is 20. The average of first two numbers is $$15\frac{1}{2}$$ and that of the next three is $$21\frac{1}{3}$$. If the sixth number be less than the seventh and eighth numbers by 4 and 7 respectively, then the eight number is-
Solution:
Let the eight number be x
Then, sixth number = (x - 7)
Seventh number = (x - 7) + 4 = (x - 3)
So,
$$ \Leftrightarrow \left( {2 \times 15\frac{1}{2}} \right) + \left( {3 \times 21\frac{1}{2}} \right)$$ $$ + \left( {x - 7} \right)$$ $$ + \left( {x - 3} \right)$$ $$ + \,x = 8 \times 20$$
$$\eqalign{
\Leftrightarrow 31 + 64 + \left( {3x - 10} \right) = 160 \cr
\Leftrightarrow 3x = 75 \cr
\Leftrightarrow x = 25 \cr} $$
