Average


Average : It is defined as the ratio of Sum of all the Observations to the Number of Observations. 

Average = Sum of all the observations / No. of Observations

                                      

OR, Sum of all the observations = Average x No. of Observations


To Calculate the Average Speed of the journey To and Fro 

Going from A to B with the speed of  X kmph; 


Coming from B to A  with the speed of Y kmph.


                                   A                        X kmph  →                                  B

                                   ⧭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⧭

                                                                 ←  Y kmph


                                                                       

    Average Speed during whole journey = 2(X * Y) /(X + Y)

                                                                       


To calculate the Average of the whole class

Where,  Slot A = Number of students = X

                           Average of Slot A     = M

and ,     Slot B = Number of students  = Y

                           Average of Slot B     = N


                                               XM + YN

 Average of whole Class =   ━━━━━     

                                                  X + Y


Weighted Average : 

                                       W₁X₁ + W₂X₂ + W₃X₃

Weighted Average  =  ━━━━━━━━━━━━

                                          W₁ + W₂ + W₃


Here, X₁ , X₂, X₃ and X₄ are the respective averages of W₁, W₂, W₃ and W₄.



Problems Based on Age :

When New Member is Added in the group

Case 1 : Average Age Increases

Age of New Member added = Previously given Age + ( Increase in average after new member added * Total members including new member )

Case 2 : Average Age Decreases

Age of New Member added = Previously given Age - ( Decrease in average after new member added * Total members including new member )


When a member of group is replaced by the another new member in the group

Case 1 : Average Age Increases

Age of New Member added = Age of Departed Member + ( Increase in average after new member added * Total members including new member )

Case 2 : Average Age Decreases

Age of New Member added = Age of Departed Member  - ( Decrease in average after new member added * Total members including new member )

KEY HIGHLIGHTS : 

                                                                                       

  • Average of N consecutive natural numbers

  • First + Last

  • =  ━━━━━━━ 

           2                                                                     

  • The Average of Odd no. of Observation in consecutive pattern  = MIDDLE TERM

Example : Calculate the average of  4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Sol : Average = Middle term = 12

  • The Average of Even no. of Observation in consecutive pattern  = Average of Middle two terms

Example : Calculate the Average of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48

Sol : No. of terms = 8 (EVEN) 

                                           24 + 30               54 

                   Average =   ━━━━━━  =   ━━━ =  27

                                                            2                     2    

  • If each term of the observation is increased or decreased by K, the average eventually increases or decreases by K.

  • If the average of the two separate groups is known, then the combined average of the group can not be determined.

Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)

A single digit is obtained by adding all the digits of a number is called Digital Sum Balance (D.S.)   Ex :  12 → 1 + 2 → 3 24 → 2 + 4 → 6 21 → 2 + 1  → 3 9876 → 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 → 30 → 3 + 0 → 3 3452 → 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 → 14 → 1 + 4 → 5 Or,  On Dividing the digits by 9, the obtained Remainder is Digital Sum Balance.  Ex :    12    ━━ = 3                9      24 ━━━ = 6      9    3452 ━━━━ =  5      9 KEY HIGHLIGHTS : The range of D.S. always falls from 0 to 9. When we add 9 to a number, its Digital Sum will not change therefore in order to calculate Digital Sum we need to cancel out  all the 9’s.  9 + 1 → 10 → 1 9 + 2 → 11 → 2 9 + 3 → 12 → 3 9 + 4 → 13 → 4 9 + 5 → 14 → 5 9 + 6 → 15 → 6 9 + 7 → 16 → 7 9 + 8 → 17 → 8 9 + 9 → 18 → 9 Example : 123 45 → 6 → Digital Sum ...

HCF and LCM

HCF and LCM FACTORS / DIVISORS = Numbers that divide any number completely, without leaving any Remainder are its factors. Example : Factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72.                    Factors of 90 are 1, ,2, 3, 5 , 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 MULTIPLES =   Numbers that fall in tables of any given number are its Multiples. Examples  : Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96……                       Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 ….. HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR (H.C.F.) /  GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR (G.C.D.) =   Largest number that divides two or more than two given numbers. Examples : Calculate the  H.C.F. of 45 and 27  Sol : Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45       ...

Number System (No. of Zeros)

  How to Find Number of Trailing     Zeros in a Factorial or Product Under the topic of Number of Zeros , it is expected to find out the number of trailing zeros at the end of the number. In simple words, it can be said that to calculate the No. of Zeros at the  right side of the number. To make the things more clear, let us take a simple example to understand the concept of Number of Zeros Example : 1234057000 → No. of Trailing zeros →  3                  1050500000 → No. of Trailing zeros → 5                  1.5 x 10⁵ → No. of Trailing zeros → 4 Such Zeros that are represented at the end of the numbers are actually the Trailing Zeros. Now the next thing arises about the formation of Zeros in the Numbers. So, the fundamental regarding the formation of a Zero is the presence of a Pair of ...
