1. The average of first 10 prime numbers is?
A. 10
B. 12.5
C. 12.9
D. 15.5
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
= [latex]\frac{7(1+2+3+...+10) }{10}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{7(10(10+1)) }{20}[/latex]
[latex]\frac{7(110) }{20}[/latex] = 38.5
2. The average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24. Find the largest number.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then
[latex]\frac{4x+12)}{4}[/latex] = 24
[x + 3 = 24 =>x = 21
3. When a student weighing 45 kgs left a class, the average weight of the remaining 59 students increased by 200g. What is the average weight of the remaining 59 students
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the average weight of the 59 students be A.
So the total weight of the 59 of them will be 59*A.
The questions states that when the weight of this student who left is added, the total weight of the class = 59A + 45
When this student is also included, the average weight decreases by 0.2 kgs
[latex]\frac{59A+45}{60}[/latex] = a - 0.2
59 A + 45 = 60 A - 12
45 + 12 = 60 A -59 A
A = 57
4. A motorist travel to a place 150 km away at an avearge speed of 50 km/hr and returns ar 30 km/hr.His average speed for the whole jouney in km/hr is

A. x = y + z
B. 2x = y + z
C. x = 2y + z
