Average Methods Example 1
Example 1 :
In a School 8 student average weight is increased by 3.5 kg when new student comes
in place of one of them than weight become 55 kg what might be the weight of the
new student?
Answer :
Step 1: At first we find the total weight increased So, ( 8 X 3.5 )kg = 28kg.
Step 2: Now the weight of new Student is = ( 55 + 28 )kg = 83 kg.
So, the weight of the new student is 83 kg.
Example 2:
The Average weight 3 girls A, B, and C is 55kg,While the average weight of three
boys B, D, and E is 57 kg. What is the average weight of A, B, C, D, E ?
Answer :
Step 1: At First we find 3 girls total weight ( A + B + C ) = ( 55 X 3 ) = 165 kg.
and Total 3 boys weight of ( B + D + E ) = ( 57 x 3 ) = 171.
Step 2: Adding both weight of ( A + 2B + C + D + E ) = ( 165 + 171 ) = 336 kg.
Note: So, to find the average weight of A B C D and E, we duty to know B�s weight,
which is not given. So the data is inadequate.
Example 3:
There are two section X and Y of a College, consisting of 36 and 44 students
respectively.if the average weight of section X is 40Kg and that of section Y is
35Kg . Find the average weight of the whole College (in Kg)?
Answer:
Step 1: At first the total ( X + Y ) college students are ( 36 + 44 ) = 80.
Step 2: college X total student weight and college Y total student weight is ( 36 x
40 + 44 x 35 ) = 2980
Average weight of the whole college is = 2980 / 80 = 37.25.
