maths average arithmetic mean of ap introduction to averages means

  1. $49$

  2. $50$

  3. $51$

  4. $52$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The observations of $A$ are $101,102,......,200$

The sum is $\dfrac{100}{2}[2(101)+(100-1)1]\50(202+99)\50(301)=15050$
Mean is $\dfrac{15050}{100}\150.5$
The observations of $B$ are $151,152,......,250$
The sum is $\dfrac{100}{2}[2(151)+(100-1)1]\50(302+99)\50(401)=20050$
Mean is $\dfrac{20050}{100}=200.50$
The difference is $200.5-150.5=50$

The mean of 2, 7, 6 and x is 15 and the mean of 18, 1, 6, x and y is 10. What is the value of y ?

  1. $-5$

  2. $-10$

  3. $-20$

  4. $-30$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\dfrac{2+7+6+x}{4}=15$


$15+x=60$

$x=45$

Now,
$\dfrac{18+1+6+45+y}{5}=10$

$70+y=50$

$y=-20$
