1 I this Chapter followig topics will be covered Itroductio verages ad its applicatios Mixtures ad llegatios Suppose there is a group havig so may values, imagie if we represet that etire group by a sigle value, this leads to cocept of averages. The basic formula for the average of umbers 1,,, is verage ( ) 1... So total of umbers ( Solved out problems ). Example 1: The average of 16, 18 ad 0 is Solutio: It meas if umbers are replaced by 18 there will ot be ay chage i total of umbers (16+) (0 ) Fid the umber, which adds to above umbers so that average will icrease by So 4 th umber will be, (Here, 0 is the ew average ad times added to above umbers). Or after addig oe value total of four umbers will be Before, addig it total of three umbers is Fourth umber is, Example : The average of two umbers is 7.5 ad square root of their product is 6. What are the umbers? (S.S.C 01) 10 ad 5 B 1 ad C 9 ad 6 D 1 ad a b Solutio: 7.5 ad ab 6 ll the optios give average of 7.5 but Optio B satisfies secod coditio i.e Weighted verage Suppose there are two sectios ad B. verage marks of sectio is 60 ad average marks of sectio B is 80. Fid the average marks of etire studets i the two sectios. Here, two separate sectios we have, verage marks Total marks of etire class Total umber of studets Without kowig umber of the studets i each class, we caot solve above problem. ssume there are 0 studets ad 0 studets i sectio ad B respectively, So total marks i a sectio 60 0 Total marks i a sectio B verage of combied class So wheever we have two (or) more groups, whose idividual averages are kow, we eed to fid average (weighted average) of all the groups together. ssume there are total groups, each group havig x1, x, x... x elemets with averages 1,.. respectively. Weight average is x x x... x 1 1 x x x... x 1 Example : 0 boys with average weight 50 kgs ad 0 girls with a average weight 60. Fid the average weight of whole class? Solutio: Example 4: The average of a batsma i 15 iigs is 0, i the ext iigs he scored 6 rus, his ew verage is?

2 Solutio: Method 1: Total rus New verage (15 1) 16 Method : Take the differece betwee ew score ad old verage i.e. 6 0 Now this is spread over 16 iigs so 16, ew verage is 0 +. pplicatios of verages Numbers: The sum of 1 st atural umbers is 1, verage is 1 1. verage of 1 st 1 atural umbers is verage of 1 st 50 atural umbers? swer: 5.5 We kow that the sum of 1 st eve 1 cosecutive atural umbers is 1 verage is 1 The sum of 1 st odd cosecutive atural umbers is, verage is Example 5: Fid the average of 1 st 50 eve umbers ad 1 st 50 odd umbers? Solutio: Eve umber average is st 50 odd umbers average is 50 I Time ad Speed Total distace travelled verage speed. Total time take Problem 8: perso travels at 60kmph o the jourey from P to Q ad returs at 40 km ph. fid his average speed for the jourey? Solutio: Let the distace betwee P ad Q is d. Total distace travelled is d + d d Total time d d take is (time d/s) d 48. d d Short-cut: If the distace is costat (or) same, verage speed is ab (a ad b are speeds). a b I Mixtures: Example 6: 6 kg of rice costig rs.1 mixed with 8 kg of rice costig rs.10 fid the average cost of the mixture? Solutio: Cost of 6 kg rice Cost of 8 kg rice Total 14 kg of rice rs.15 verage rs ges If the average age of a group of persos is y years the after years their average age is y years, years ago average age would have bee y years. Example 7: The average age of 19 childre i a school is 0. Whe teacher also icluded with age 55, what is the ew average age? Solutio: Method 1: New average is Method : Differece is This 5 spread over 0 people 5/ verage icreases by 1.5, Example 8: The average age of 0 studets is 1 years fid the age of teacher, if he icluded average is icreased by 0.5 years? Solutio: Method 1: ge of the teacher is years. Method : ge of the teacher is years. llegatios ad Mixtures Itroductio The allegatio rule is very useful i problems o weighted averages ad mixtures. Just recollect weighted averages formula, if there are two

3 groups havig x1elemets with average 1 ad x elemets with average respectively, weighted average is x1 1 x x x 1 x 1 x x 1 1 x x x 1 1 x 1 x 1 bove equatio is called the allegatio equatio. Graphical represetatio, 1 : 1 Example 9: Two sectios i a school havig average of 0 marks ad 0 marks respectively, o combiig them the resultat group have average marks of 6. Fid the ratio of the studets i two sectios? x1 0 6 Solutio: 4 x Graphical represetatio, : 6 : Example 10: O combiig the two classes studets havig average marks 65 ad 80 respectively, the overall average obtaied is 70. Fid the umber of studets i the secod class if first class has 50 studets? Solutio: Ratio of the studets i two classes : 1. The, studets i the secod class are (½) pplicatios of llegatios I verage price of goods: perso buys 0 kg of rice at rs.40 kg ad 10 kg of rice at rs.5 what is the average price? 0 10 x 5 40 x, x 5. I Percetages: sales ma makes a profit of 40% by sellig 0% of his articles ad a profit of 5% by sellig 10% of his articles. Fid et percetage profit? 0 10 x 5 x 5% 40 x I verage speed: car travels at 40 km/hour for 0 km ad 5 km/hour for 10 km. fid the average speed of the car i etire jourey? swer: 5 km/hour I Mixtures: Milk cotaier cotaiig 0 liters is mixed with 40% of water ad milk cotaier B cotaiig 10 liters is mixed with 5% of water. It we combies both the mixtures fid the percetage of water i fial mixture? 0 10 x 5 x 5% 40 x I Profit ad Loss: How may kgs of rice costig rs.6 per kg must be mixed with 0 kgs of rice costig rs.4. per kg, so that 40% gai may be obtaied by sellig the mixture at rs.7 per kg? Solutio: You eed to cosider cost price ot sellig price so Sellig price 140% X cost price. Cost price 7/1.4 rs : 1 So, there are i the ratio 0.8: 1 x: , 8 10 x, x 4 0 5

4 Mixture of Liquids: Glass cotais milk ad water i the ratio : 4, Glass B cotais milk ad water i the ratio 4: 1, i what ratio they should mix so that total mixture have milk ad water i the ratio :? Solutio: Milk i glass /7, milk i glass B 4/5 ad milk i a mixture is /5. /7 4/5 x x y 4 / 5 / 5 / 5 / 7 /5 : y 1/ 5 6 / 7 6 Simple Iterest: perso has rs He ivests a part of it at % per aum ad rest of the amout at 8% per aum at simple iterest. His total icome i years is rs.900. Fid the sum iterested at differet rates of iterest? Solutio: Rs.900 gaiig i years, it meas i 1 year it 900/ 00. PTR 900, R 6%. 100 % 8% 6% 8-6 : 6- : Therefore, amout o %, (/5) mout o 8%, / Example 11: liters of milk are draw from a cask cotaiig 0 liters of milk ad it replaced by water. The above process is repeated times. 1. Fid the fial quatity of milk left i the cask.. Fid the ratio of milk to water fially. Solutio: 1. Milk left i the cask is Capacity x 1 fractio of milk withdraw Number of process times Ratio of milk to water is, th milk left after operatio th water left after operatio Milk becomes 0.79 (or 7.9%) times of total quatity ad remaiig is water that equals (or 7.1%) times of total quatity of cask Practice set The average marks of all the studets i three sectios, B ad C i a school are 0, 40 ad 50 marks respectively.
