Question: If the average of 'm' numbers is 2n2 and the average of 'n' numbers is 2m2, what is the average of the combined (m + n) numbers?
Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
'm' সংখ্যার গড় = 2n2
∴ m সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = m × 2n2
'n' সংখ্যার গড় = 2m2
∴ 'n' সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = n × 2m2
∴ মোট সমষ্টি = (m × 2n2) + (n × 2m2)
= 2mn(n + m)
∴ তাদের গড় = মোট সমষ্টি/(m + n)
= 2mn(m + n)/(m + n)
= 2mn
Question: The average weight of 40 students in a class is 45 kg. If 10 new students are admitted, the average weight increases by 1 kg. What is the average weight of the new students?
Solution:
40 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 40 × 45 = 1800 kg
10 জন নতুন শিক্ষার্থী ভর্তি হওয়ায় মোট শিক্ষার্থীর সংখ্যা = 40 + 10 = 50 জন
নতুন গড় ওজন = 45 + 1 = 46 kg
সুতরাং, 50 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 50 × 46 = 2300 kg
নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 2300 - 1800 = 500 kg
∴ নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর গড় ওজন = 500/10 = 50 kg
সুতরাং, নতুন শিক্ষার্থীদের গড় ওজন 50 kg
Average cost of 5 apples and 4 mangoes = Tk. 36
Total cost = 36 × 9 = 324
Average cost of 7 apples and 8 mangoes = Tk. 48
Total cost = 48 × 15 = 720
Total cost of 12 apples and 12 mangoes = 324 + 720 = 1044
Therefore, cost of 24 apples and 24 mangoes = 1044 × 2 = 2088
Question: The average of a and b is 30, and the average of b and c is 40. If b = 36 than find the value of (a + c).
Solution:
Given b = 36
Average of a and b = 30
a + b = 30 × 2
⇒ a + b = 60
⇒ a + 36 = 60
⇒ a = 60 - 36
∴ a = 24
Average of b and c = 40
b + c = 40 × 2
⇒ b + c = 80
⇒ c = 80 - 36
∴ c = 44
Now,
a + c = 24 + 44 = 68
Question: In a class of 120 students, the average score in science is 75. If the 70 girls scored an average of 78, what is the average score of the remaining boys?
Solution:
ধরি, ছাত্রদের গড় নম্বর = x
120 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট নম্বর = 120 × 75 = 9000
70 জন ছাত্রীর মোট নম্বর = 70 × 78 = 5460
প্রশ্নমতে,
5460 + (120 - 70) × x = 9000
⇒ 5460 + 50x = 9000
⇒ 50x = 9000 - 5460
⇒ 50x = 3540
⇒ x = 3540/50
⇒ x = 70.8
∴ 50 জন ছাত্রের গড় নম্বর = 70.8
Question: A passenger travels from Dhaka to Cumilla at a speed of 30 kmph and return with a speed of 60 kmph. What is the average speed?
Solution:
Let the total distance be 60 km [L.C.M. of 30 kmph and 60 kmph]
Time to cover 60 km distance at the speed of 30 km/hr = 60/30 = 2 hrs
Time to cover 60 km distance at the speed of 60 km/hr = 60/60 = 1 hr
Total distance = 60 + 60 = 120 km
Total time = 2 hrs + 1 hrs = 3 hrs
∴ Average speed = 120/3 = 40 km/hr
The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 15 of them is, 15 × 24 = 360
When 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years.
So, New average = 26.
Now, there are 20 employees.
The sum of the ages of everyone = 20×26 = 520
Therefore, the sum of the ages of the 5 new employees = 520 - 360 = 160
∴ The average age of the 5 new employees = 160/5 = 32 years.
Question: The average age of three men is 30 years. If their ages are in ratio 3 : 5 : 7, the age of the youngest man is-
Solution:
The sum of the ages of three men = (30 × 3) years
= 90 years
Let the ages be 3x, 5x and 7x
Now,
3x + 5x + 7x = 90
⇒ 15x = 90
⇒ x = 6
So, age of the youngest man = 3x
= 3 × 6
= 18 years
Question: A group of 10 boxes has their average weight increased by 4 kg after replacing a 60 kg box with a new one. What is the weight of the new box?
Solution:
Let the weight of the new box be x kg.
Let the total weight of the original 10 boxes = W
Original average = W/10
After replacing the 60 kg box with x,
The total weight becomes: W - 60 + x
The new average = (W - 60 + x) / 10
Accordingly:
New average = Old average + 4
(W - 60 + x) / 10 = W/10 + 4
⇒ W - 60 + x = W + 40
⇒ x = 40 + 60
⇒ x = 100
Question: The average of 10 numbers is 23. If each number is increased by 4, what will the new average be?
Solution:
Given,
Average of 10 numbers = 23
⇒ Sum/Total numbers = 23
⇒ Sum/10 = 23
∴ Sum of the 10 numbers = 230
If each number is increased by 4, the total increase = 4 × 10 = 40
New sum = 230 + 40 = 270
Therefore, the new average = 270/10 = 27
Question: While on a holiday, X persons have decided to rent a van. The rent of the van is Tk D and each person is to pay an equal share. If Y persons cancel their trip, which of the following represents the additional amount of Tk per person that each remaining person must pay in order to still rent the van?
Solution:
Total rent = Tk. D
Original number of persons = X
∴ Original share per person = D/X
And,
If Y persons cancel then,
∴ Remaining persons = X - Y
∴ New share per person = D/(X - Y)
∴ Additional amount each remaining person must pay = {D/(X - Y)} - (D/X)
= D{1/(X - Y)} - (1/X)}
= D{(X - X + Y)/X(X - Y)}
= YD/(X(X - Y))
∴ The additional amount per remaining person is YD/(X(X - Y)).
Question: If 1 is added to the numerator of a fraction, the fraction becomes 1. If 1 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2. Find the fraction.
Solution:
ধরি, ভগ্নাংশটি = x/y

⇒ 2x - 1 = y ............(2)
(1) ও (2) থেকে,
2x - 1 = x + 1
⇒ x = 2
x = 2 হলে,
y = x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
∴ ভগ্নাংশটি = 2/3
Question: If the average of p numbers is q2 and the average of q numbers is p2, find the average of all (p + q) numbers.
Solution:
Sum of p numbers = p × q2
Sum of q numbers = q × p2
Total sum = pq2 + qp2 = pq(p + q)
Total numbers = p + q
∴ Average of all (p + q) numbers = Total sum/Total numbers
= [pq(p + q)]/(p + q)
= pq
এখানে (x + y)/2 = 60 বা, x + y = 120…..(1)
এবং (y + z)/2 = 80 বা, y + z = 160…..(2)

Question: The average age of 50 students in a class is 18 years. When 10 new students are admitted, the average is increased by 0.5 years. The average age of new students is?
Solution:
50 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট বয়স = 50 × 18 = 900 বছর
10 জন নতুন শিক্ষার্থী ভর্তি হওয়ায় মোট শিক্ষার্থীর সংখ্যা = 50 + 10 = 60 জন
এখন, গড় বয়স বৃদ্ধি পাওয়ায় নতুন গড় বয়স = 18 + 0.5 = 18.5 বছর
সুতরাং, 60 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট বয়স = 60 × 18.5 = 1110 বছর
নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট বয়স = 1110 - 900 = 210 বছর
সুতরাং, নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর গড় বয়স = 210/10 = 21 বছর।
Question: If the average of 'm' numbers is √2n2 and the average of 'n' numbers is √2m2, what is the average of the combined (m + n) numbers?
Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
m সংখ্যার গড় = √2n2
∴ m সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = m × √2n2
n সংখ্যার গড় = √2m2
∴ n সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = n × √2m2
∴ মোট সমষ্টি = m + n = (m × √2n2) + (n × √2m2)
= √2mn2 + √2m2n
= √2mn(m + n)
∴ তাদের গড় = মোট সমষ্টি/(m + n)
= √2mn(m + n)/(m + n)
= √2mn
Question: The average weight of 20 students is 50 kg, and the average weight of another 30 students is 60 kg. What is the average weight of all 50 students combined?
Solution:
20 জন ছাত্রের গড় ওজন = 50 কেজি
∴ 20 জন ছাত্রের ওজনের সমষ্টি = 20 × 50 = 1000 কেজি
30 জন ছাত্রের গড় ওজন = 60 কেজি
∴ 30 জন ছাত্রের ওজনের সমষ্টি = 30 × 60 = 1800 কেজি
মোট ওজনের সমষ্টি = 1000 + 1800 = 2800 কেজি
মোট ছাত্র সংখ্যা = 20 + 30 = 50 জন
সুতরাং, সম্মিলিত গড় ওজন = 2800/50 = 56 কেজি
Question: The mean weight of three club members is 42 kg. If none of them weighs less than 40 kg, what is the maximum possible weight of one of the members?
Solution:
Given,
the mean weight of three members is 42 kg
Total weight of three members = (42 × 3) kg = 126 kg
According to the question,
Minimum weight of any member = 40 kg
So, Minimum weight of 2 members = (40 × 2) = 80 kg
∴ Maximum weight of any of three members = (126 - 80) kg = 46 kg
Question: Among 100 students, the average marks in English is 78. If the 60 girls scored an average of 84, determine the average score of the remaining boys.
Solution:
ধরি,
ছাত্রদের গড় নম্বর = x
100 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট নম্বর = 100 × 78 = 7800
এবং 60 জন ছাত্রীর মোট নম্বর = 60 × 84 = 5040
প্রশ্নমতে,
5040 + (100 - 60)x = 7800
⇒ 5040 + 40x = 7800
⇒ 40x= 7800 - 5040
⇒ 40x = 2760
⇒ ক = 2760/40
⇒ ক = 69
∴ 40 জন ছাত্রের গড় নম্বর = 69
Question: When a person weighing 60 kg leaves a group of 50 people, the average weight of the remaining people increases by 0.3 kg. What is the new average weight of the remaining 49 people?
Solution:
let,
The average weight of 49 people is x kg
Total weight of 49 people = 49x
Total weight of 50 people = 49x + 60
ATQ,
50(x - 0.3) = (49x + 60)
⇒ 50x - 15 = 49x + 60
⇒ 50x - 49x = 60 + 15
∴ x = 75
∴ the new average weight of the remaining 49 people is 75 kg.

Question: The average of 8 numbers is 8. If 4 is subtracted from each of 6 of the numbers, what is the new average?
Solution:
Given that,
The average of 8 numbers = 8
∴ Sum of the 8 numbers = (8 × 8) = 64
If 4 is subtracted from each of 6 of these numbers, then the new sum becomes,
= 64 - (6 × 4)
= 64 - 24
= 40
Therefore, the new average of the 8 numbers will be,
= 40/8
= 5
So the new average is 5.
Question: The average temperature on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday was 26°C. The average temperature on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was 25°C. If the temperature on Monday was 28°C, what was the temperature on Thursday?
Solution:
The total temperature on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday = 26° × 3 = 78°
The total temperature on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday = 25° × 3 = 75°
ATQ,
(Mon + Tue + Wed) - (Tue + Wed + Thu) = 78° - 75°
⇒ Mon - Thu = 3°
⇒ Thu = Mon - 3°
⇒ Thu = 28° - 3°
∴ Thu = 25°
∴ The temperature on Thursday = 25°
