If Mode $= 195.2,$ Median $= 198.4,$ then the approximately value of mean is:
Answer Mode $= 3$ median $- 2$ mean (by The Empirical relation)
$\Rightarrow 195.2 = 3 (198.4) - 2$ mean
$\Rightarrow 195.2 = 595.2 - 2$ mean
$\Rightarrow 2$ mean $= 595.2 - 195.2$
$\Rightarrow 2$ mean $= 400$
$\therefore$ mean $= 200$

In an examination, $40\%$ of the candidates wrote their answer in Hindi and the others in English. The average marks of the candidates written in Hindi is $74$ and the average marks of the candidates written in English is $77.$ What is the average marks of all the candidates?
- A
$75.5$
- ✓
$75.8$
- C
$76.0$
- D
$76.8$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $75.8$
Let there be $100$ students who took the examination.
The number of students who wrote answers in Hindi and in English are thus $40$ and $60$ respectively.
$\therefore$ average marks of all the candidates
$= (40 × 74 + 60 × 77) ÷ 100$
$= 7580 ÷ 100 = 75.8$

Mean of $25$ observations was given as $78.4$ Later it was found out that $96$ was misread as $69.$ Find the correct mean:
- A
$79.84$
- ✓
$79.48$
- C
$79.54$
- D
$79.45$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $79.48$
$ n = 25$
$u = 78.4 ($initial wrong mean$)$
$x = n × u = 25 × 78.4 = 1960$
Now $69$ was read as $96,$ so
$= 1960 - 96 + 69 = 1987$
$\therefore {\text{u'}} = \frac{1987}{25}$
thus $u = 79.48$

- A
$10.2$
- B
$12.2$
- ✓

The average (arithmetic mean) of the numbers listed above is $6.$ Calculate the value of $a:$
AnswerWe know that average of a bunch of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers in the bunch.
We can set up an equation for the average from the given question,
$\Rightarrow \frac{12+{\text{a}}+6+8+2+14}{6} = {6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{{42}+{\text{a}}}{6} = {6}$

A set of consecutive positive integers beginning with $1$ is written on the blackboard A student came and erased one number. The average of the remaining numbers is ${35}\frac{7}{17}$ What was the number erased$?$
AnswerAfter one value is removed:
Since all of the values are Integers, the sum here must be an integer. Sum $= ($number$) × ($average$).$
Since the average $ = {35}\frac{7}{17},$ and the sum must be an integer, the number of integers must be a multiple of $17.$
For any evenly spaced set,
average = median. After one of the consecutive integers is removed, most of the remaining set will still be evenly spaced.
As a result, the average of the remaining set $ ={37}\frac{7}{17}$ will still be close to the median. Implication: The number of integers $= 4 × 17 = 68$ with the result that $ = {35}\frac{7}{17},$
will be close to the median of the 68 mostly consecutive integers.
$\therefore{\text{sum}} = {68}\times{35}\frac{7}{17} = {2408}$
Original set:
Since $68$ integers remain after one of the integers is removed, the original set contains $69$ integers. Sum of the first n positive integers $ = \frac{(\text{n})({\text{n+1}})}{2}$
$\therefore{\text{sum}} = {69}\times\frac{70}{2} = {2415}.$
Removed integer = original sum - sum after one integer is removed $= 2415 - 2408 = 7.$

The average of $20$ numbers is zero. Of them, at the most, how many may be greater than zero$?$
AnswerLet the $20$ numbers be $a_1, a_2, .... ,a_{20}$
Given that average of $20$ numbers is zero.
$\therefore\frac{ {\text{a}}_1+{\text{a}}_2+...+{\text{a}}_{20}}{20}$
$⇒ a_1 + a_2 + ... +a_{20}=0$
$⇒ a_1 + a_2 + ... +a_{19}= -a_{20}$
$\therefore$ at the most $19$ numbers can be greater than zero.

A man bought $5$ shirts at $Rs. 450$ each, $4$ trousers at $Rs. 750$ each and $12$ pairs of shoes at $Rs. 750$ each. What is the average expenditure per article$?$
- ✓
$Rs. 678.57$
- B
$Rs. 800$
- C
$Rs. 900$
- D
$Rs. 1000$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $Rs. 678.57$
Total amount spent on shirts is $5 \times 450 = 2250$
amount on trousers is $4 \times 750 = 3000$ and on shoes $12 \times 750 = 9000$
hence total amount spent is $2250 + 3000 + 9000 = 14250$

If the average of $x$ and $y$ is $50,$ and the average of $y$ and $z$ is $80,$ what is the value of $z - x?$
Answer The sum of two numbers is twice their average.
$x + y = 100 $
$y + z = 160$
$x = 100 - y $
$z = 160 - y$
substitute these expressions for $z$ and $x : z - x = (160 - y) - (100- y) = 160 - y - 100 + y= 160 - 100 = 60$
alternatively, pick smart numbers for $x$ and $y.$
Let $x = 50$ and $y = 50 ($this is an easy way to make their average equal to $50).$
since the average of $y$ and $z$ must be $80,$ you have $z = 110$
$\therefore z - x = 110 - 50 = 60$

A man spends equal amount on purchasing three kind of pens at the rate $Rs. 5$ per pen, $Rs. 10$ per pen and $Rs. 20$ per pen. The average cost of one pen is:
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\text{Rs. }\frac{60}{7}$
Let the man spends $Rs. x$ on purchasing each kind of pens at their respective rates. Total cost $= x + x + x = 3x$
Now, number of pens bought of $Rs. 5$ will be $\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
Number of pens bought of $Rs. 10$ will be $\frac{\text{x}}{10}$
Number of pens bought of $Rs. 20$ will be $\frac{\text{x}}{20}$
So, total number of pens bought $ = \frac{\text{x}}{5}+\frac{\text{x}}{10}+\frac{\text{x}}{20}$
Average cost $ =\frac{ \text{Total cost}}{\text{No. of total pens}}= \frac{ \text{x+x+x}}{\frac{\text{x}}{5}+\frac{\text{x}}{10}+\frac{\text{x}}{20}}$
$ = \frac{{3}}{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{20}} = \frac{60}{7}$

The mean of $13$ observations is $14.$ If the mean of the first $7$ observations is $12$ and that of the last $7$ observations is $16,$ then the $7^{th}$ observation is .......
AnswerB. $14$
Solution:
Sum of all observations $= 13 × 14 = 182$ Sum of the first $7$ observations $= 7 × 12 = 84$
sum of the last $7$ observations $= 7 × 16 = 112$
sum of the first $7$ observations $+$ Sum of the last $7$ observations
$=$ sum of total terms $+ 7^{th}$ terms
$⇒ 84 + 112 = 182 + 7^{th}$ term

The average of three numbers is $60.$ The first is $1/ 4th$ of the sum of the other two. The first number is:
AnswerLet $a,b$ and $c$ are three numbers $ = \frac{\text{a + b + c}}{3} = {60}$
$a + b + c = 180$
and $a = \frac{1}{4} \text{(b+c)} = \frac{1}{4} (180) - {\text{a}}$
$4a = 180 - a$
$\text{a} = \frac{180}{5} = {36}$

The arithmetic mean of the cubes of first four natural numbers is:
AnswerThe first four natural numbers are $1, 2, 3, 4$
$\text{A.M} = \frac{\sum{\text{x}}}{\text{n}} = \frac{{1}^{3} +{2}^{3} + {3}^{3}+{4}^{3}}{4}$
$\frac{1+4+27+64}{4} = \frac{100}{4} = {25}$

The probability of getting a red card from a well shuffled pack of cards is:
- A
$\frac{1}{4}$
- ✓
$\frac{1}{2}$
- C
$\frac{3}{4}$
- D
$\frac{1}{3}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{1}{2}$
There are $52$ cards in a standard deck. There are four different suits Diamonds (red), Clubs (black), Hearts (red), and Spades (black) each containing $13$ cards.
$\therefore $ Number of red cards $($favourable outcomes$) = 13 + 13 = 26$
Therefore
Probability of getting a red card $=\frac{26}{52}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

Find the average of first $100$ positive numbers:
AnswerCorrect option: C. $50.5$
We know that sum of $1$ to $n$ numbers $ = \frac{\text{n}(\text{n+1})}{1}$
Then sum of $1$ to $100 = \frac{{100}(100+1)}{2} = \frac{{100}\times{101}}{2} = \frac{10100}{2} = 5050$
Then average of $1$ to $100$ positive numbers $ = \frac{5050}{100} = 50.5$

The mean of five numbers is $27.$ If one of the numbers is excluded, the mean gets reduced by $2.$ Find the excluded number:
Answer Mean of $5$ number $= 27.$ If $1$ of the numbers is excluded,
$\therefore M′ = M - 2$
$= 27 - 2$
$= 25 × 4$
$= 100M = 27 × 5$
$= 135$ Excluded number $= 135 - 100 = 35.$
