Practicing Success
If the average of a, b and c is 11, the average of c, d and e is 17, the average of e and f is 22 and the average of e and c is 17, then the average of a, b, c, d, e and f will be: |
$15 \frac{2}{3}$ $18 \frac{1}{2}$ $16 \frac{1}{2}$ $15 \frac{1}{3}$ |
$15 \frac{2}{3}$ |
average a, b and c = a+b+c/3 = 11 a+b+c = 33 the average of c, d and e is 17, c+d+e/3 = 17 c+d+e = 51 the average of e and f = e+f/2 = 22 e+f = 44 average of e and c = e+c/2 = 17 e+c = 34 average a,b,c,d,e and f = (a+b+c+d+e+f)/6 = [(a+b+c)+(c+d+e)+(e+f)-(e+c)] = 33+51+44-34 = 94/6 The correct answer is Option (1) → $15 \frac{2}{3}$ |
