Q17: The mean weight of a group of components has been calculated as 145kg. The individual weights
of the components are as follows:

Components A B C D E F G
Weights 140 25 X 145.5 99.5 y 47

a) 112.3 kg
b) 111.6 kg
c) 110.2 kg
d) 109.2 kg
Mean = 145 = 140 + 25 + x + 145.5 + 99.5 + y + 47
7
Since y = 4x

145 = 140 + 25 + x + 145.5 + 99.5 + 4x + 47

7
X = 111.6 kg

Q25: The average weights of students in a class of 35 students is 40kg. If the weights of the teacher
be included the average rises by ½ kg the weight of the teacher is:

a) 40.5 kg
b) 58.0 kg
c) 50.0 kg
d) 41.0 kg
•Initial number of people = N0 = 35
•Initial average weight of students = A0 = 40kg
•Final number of people = N1 = 35 + 1 (teacher) = 36
•Final average weight of people = A1 = 40.5kg
•The average weight = total weight / number of people
Then derive the things you need to know:
•So the initial total weight would be N0*A0 = 35*40kg = 1400kg
•And the final total weight would be N1*A1 = 36*40.5kg = 1458kg
•So adding the teacher made the total weight increase by 58kg.

is ............?

a)
b)
c)
d)
[ (1)(x) + (2)(2x) + (3)(3x) + ... + (n)(nx) ] / (x+2x+3x+...+nx)
= x(1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n²) / x(1+2+3+...+n)
= (1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n²) / (1+2+3+...+n)
Using sum of series formula:
= n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 ÷ n(n+1)/2
= ⅓(2n+1).
Q28: The combined mean of three groups is 12 and the combined mean of first two groups is 3. If the
first, second and third groups have 2, 3 and 5 items respectively. Then mean of third group is
.
a) 21
b) 12
c) 13
d) 10
Let , common no. in each group is X
Then Member of each group is 2X,3X and 5X
Total of three group =(2X+3X+5X)12=120X(given mean of three
group is 12)
And total of Two group =(2X+3X)3=15X (given mean of two group is
3)
Then total of third group =120X−15X=115X
Mean of third group =115X/5X​=21
