The mean of three numbers is $40.$ All the three numbers are different natural numbers. If lowest is $19,$ what could be highest possible number of remaining two numbers$?$
  • $81$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $71$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$81$
Mean of three numbers $= 40$ and lowest number $= 19...[$given$]$
Let the three observations be $19, x$ and $y,$ respectively.
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow40=\frac{19+\text{x}+\text{y}}{3} [ \because$ mean $= 40,$ given$]$
$\Rightarrow3\times40=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow120=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=120-19$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=101\ ...(\text{i})$
Since, $19$ is the lowest observation.
Hence, for highest possible value of remaining two numbers, one must be $20.$
Let $x = 20$
From Eq$.(i),$ we get
$20 + y = 101$
$⇒ y = 101 - 20$
$⇒ y = 81$

The average (arithmetic mean) of a particular set of seven numbers is $12.$ When one of the numbers is replaced by the number $6,$ the average of the set increases to $15.$ What is the number that was replaced$?$
  • A
    $-10$
  • $-15$
  • C
    $-12$
  • D
    $0$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-15$
The average of a set of numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers
i.e. average $ = \frac{\text{Sum of all 7 number}}{\text{No. of number(N)}}$
Sum of all $7$ numbers $=$ average $ ×N = 12 × 7 = 84$
Similarly, the sum of the new set of numbers is $= 15 × 7 = 105$
Now, suppose that the seven numbers are $a, b, c, d, e, f, g$ and the g gets replaced by $6.$
Then we have, $a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 84 ....... (1)$
$⇒ a + b + c + d + e + f + 6 = 105$
$⇒ a + b + c + d + e + f = 99 ....... (2)$
Plugging the vlaue from $(2)$ in $(1),$ we get $99 + g = 84 g = -15$
$\therefore$ the number that was replaced was $-15.$

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$?$
  • $7$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
$7$

After 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 $= 2415 - 2408 = 7.$

If the average of $x$ and $y$ is $50,$ and the average of $y$ and $z$ is $80,$ what is the value of $z - x?$
  • $60$
  • B
    $70$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $50$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$60$

 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 $z = 110$
$\therefore z - x = 110 - 50 = 60$

Answer
Correct 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}$

Which measures of central tendency get affected if the extreme observations on both the ends of a data arranged in descending order are removed?
  • Mean and mode.
  • B
    Mean and Median.
  • C
    Mode and Median.
  • D
    Mean, Median and Mode.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Mean and mode.
Mean is defined as follows:
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
So, if we remove the extrema values that both sum and total number of observations will change.
Hence, mean wiii aiso change.
Mode is that observation which occurs the most.
So, if extreme value of those values which occurs mostly than mode can affect it they are removed.
Median is the mid value.
So, if extreme values are removed than the mid value remains same.
Hence, median will not change.

  • B
    $43$
  • $30$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$30$

 The mean of $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $x$ is $x.$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{10+15+19+30+43+69+\text{x}}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+186=7\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{186}{6}=31$
Thus, the observations are $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $31$
Arranging the numbers $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $31$ in increasing order, we get
