    Let's eight sequentially number are x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5, x + 6 and x + 7.
    According to the question [(x + 3) + (x + 4)]/2 = 6

    Correct Option: B

    Let's eight sequentially number are x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5, x + 6 and x + 7.
    According to the question [(x + 3) + (x + 4)]/2 = 6
    ⇒ (2x + 7)/2 = 6 ⇒ 2x + 7 = 12
    ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = 5/2

    ∴ Sum of all eight numbers = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 + x + 6 + x + 7
    = 8x + 28
    = 20 + 28
    = 48


  1. The average of 4 consecutive even numbers is 27. What is the greatest number

    Average of consecutive numbers = (first number + last number)/ 2

    Correct Option: D

    Let the four consecutive even number are x, ( x+2), (x+4), (x+6).
    Clearly this is a series of consecutive even numbers
    According to the formula,
    Average of consecutive numbers = (first number + last number)/ 2
    ⇒ 27 = [x + (x + 6)]/2
    ⇒ x + 3 = 27
    ∴ x =24

    ∴ Greatest number = 4th consecutive even number = (x + 6) = 24 + 6 = 30



  1. A businessman purchased 30 TV sets in ₹ 300000, If the average cost of 15 TV sets is ₹ 9000 then find out the average cost of remaining TV sets.

    Total cost of 30 TV sets = ₹ 300000
    Total cost of 15 TV sets = 9000 x 15 = 135000
    Total cost of remaining 15 TV sets = 300000 - 135000 = 165000

    Correct Option: C

    Total cost of 30 TV sets = ₹ 300000
    Total cost of 15 TV sets = 9000 x 15 = 135000
    Total cost of remaining 15 TV sets = 300000 - 135000 = 165000

    ∴ Average cost of remaining TV sets = 165000/15 = ₹ 11000


  1. The average age of 30 girls is 13 yr. The average of first 18 girls is 15 yr. Find out the average age of remaining 12 girls.

    Total age of 30 girls = 30 x 13 = 390 yr
    Total age of 18 girls = 18 x 15 = 270 yr.
    ∴ Age of remaining 12 girls = 390 - 270 = 120 yr

    Correct Option: B

    Total age of 30 girls = 30 x 13 = 390 yr
    Total age of 18 girls = 18 x 15 = 270 yr.
    ∴ Age of remaining 12 girls = 390 - 270 = 120 yr
    ∴ Required average = 120/12 = 10 yr



  1. The average of four consecutive numbers A, B, C, and D is 49.5. What is the product of B and D ?

    Let the numbers A, B, C, and D are N , N+1, N + 2 and N + 3, respectively.
    According to the question,
    [N + (N+1) + (N+2) + (N+3)] / 4 = 49.5

    The required product = B x D
    = (N + 1) x (N + 3)

    Correct Option: A

    Let the numbers A, B, C, and D are N , N+1, N + 2 and N + 3, respectively.
    According to the question,
    [N + (N+1) + (N+2) + (N+3)] / 4 = 49.5
    ⇒ 4N + 6 = 4 x 49.5
    ⇒ 4N = 198 - 6 ⇒ N = 192/4
    ⇒ N = 48

    The required product = B x D
    = (N + 1) x (N + 3)
    = (48 +1) (48 +3 )
    = 49 x 51
    = 2499
