Question:

P1 is the average of all prime numbers below 12. P2 is the average of all prime numbers between 12 and 30. What is the value of 5P1 – P2?

Options:

7.8

8.6

9.8

7.5

Correct Answer:

7.8

Explanation:

                  2,3,5,7,11                 13,17,19,23,29

Average          \(\frac{28}{5}\)                          \(\frac{101}{5}\)

Now,               5P1                                    P2

                    \(\frac{5 × 28}{5}\)                          \(\frac{101}{5}\)

Hence,

5P1 – P2= 28 - 20.2 =7.8
