1. There are 6 prime numbers between 35& 60, They are 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, & 59
37+41+43+47+53+59 280
required arrange = = = 46.7
6 6

(+1) 3031 930

2. Sum of first in natural numbers = , So, sum of first 30 natural number = = = 465
2 2 2
465
required arrange = =15.5
30

3. Total age of 39 persons = (3915) Years = 585 Years,

61
Average age of 40 persons = 15 Years 3 month = 4 Years
61
Total Age of 40 persons = 40 Years = 610 Years
4
Age of the teacher = 610-585 Years = 25 Years

4. Let the average after 17th inning = x , Then, average after 16th inning = (x-3)
16(x-3) + 87 = 17x , 16 x-48+87 = 17 x, X= 39

5. Let A, B & C Represent their respective weights. Then, we have A+B+C = 453 = 135------- (i)
A+B = 402 = 80 ------- (ii), B+C = 432 = 86 ------- (iii)
Adding equation eqs. (iii)& (iii), we get A+2B+C = 166- - - - - (iv)
Subtracting eq.(i) from eq.(iv). We get B=31,
B weight =31

6. The first 5 prime numbers greater than 60 are 61, 67, 71, 73, &79.
61+67+71+73+79 351
Hence required average is = = = 70.20
5 5

10+15+20+25+30 100
7. Average = = = 20
5 5

8. First 4 multiplies of 5 are, 5, 10, 15, 20

5+10+15+20 50
Hence the average is = = 4 = 12.5
4

3+5+6+x
9. We have : = 6 or 14+x =24 0r x= 10.

4+7+9++
Also, = 7 or 30+y =35. Or y= 5,
5

a+(a+4)+(a+5)+(a+7)
10. We have = 8 or 4a +16=32
