Averages - Examples

<< Read Basics Here

The average income of 3 friends in a group of six is Rs. 6,600 and that of the other two is Rs. 6,500. If the average income of all the six is Rs. 6,400, find the income of the 6th friend.

Sol :

            Average Income of 3 Friends = Rs. 6,600

            So, Total Income of 3 friends = 3 X 6,600 = Rs. 19,800

            Average income of 2 friends = 2 X 6,500

            So, Total income of 2 friends = 2 X 6,500 = 13,000

            Total income of 5 friends = Rs. 19,800 + Rs. 13,000 

                                                                         = Rs. 32,800

All of us know that the speed of a vehicle does not remain constant during a journey. Therefore, the distance traveled is different in each hour.

Mental Maths (Additions)

In this post, we will show you how to do Additions Mentally. Have a look at the Following Examples........

• When we are adding three-digit numbers, first add-two-digits at a time (Units and Tens Place).

• To add 42 and 57, mentally treat 57 as 50 + 7 ( Because 50 would facilitate quick addition)
• So, 42 + 57 = (42 + 50) + 7 = 92 + 7 = 99
• Similarly, 99 + 29 = (99 + 20_ + 9 = 128
• 128 + 46 = (128 + 40) + 6 = 174
• 174 + 25 = (174 + 20) + 5 = 199

How to improve Calculation Speed

Calculation Speed plays a very very very important role in Bank Exams. Some people think that, people should have the natural ability to do calculations fast, of course that is true at some extent. But that doesn't mean the other ordinary people like you and me need not feel bad.

Because its weight is More and Wing's length is very less when compared to its Weight. But still it is flying very comfortably and enjoying the Honey in almost every flower.
