1. 72.
2. 2180.
Problems on Average:
1. The average weight of a class of 15 students is 40 kg. If the weight of the teacher is included, the average rises by 500 g. The weight of the teacher is:
Solution:
The weight of the teacher = Sum of the weight of 15 students including the teacher – Sum of the weight of 15 students = (40.5*16) – (40*15) = 648-600 = 48 kg.
2. The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 30 years old and the wicketkeeper is 5 years younger. If the ages of these 2 are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What’s the average age of the team?
Solution:
Let the average of the team be x.
11x- (30+25) = 9(x-1)
11x-55 = 9x-18
2x = 46
x = 23.
