Average

Question:

The average of 35 consecutive natural numbers is N. Dropping the first 10 numbers and including the next 10 numbers, the average is changed to M. If the value of M2 - N2 = 600, then the average of 3M and 5N is:

Options:

90

120

100

115

Correct Answer:

115

Explanation:

By adding 10 next consecutive number , Average increses by 10 .

So , N+10 = M

ATQ ,

M2 - N2 = 600

(N+10)2 - N2 = 600

20N = 500

N = 25 &  M = 25 + 10 = 35

Sum  of 3M & 5N = 3×35 + 5 ×25 = 1=5 + 125 = 230

Average = \(\frac{230}{2}\)  = 115
