Solved Examples

Ex1. In a test, the marks obtained by Kajal are:

Maths	English	Hindi	Science	S.Sci
90	85	80	75	70

Marks Obtained

Find her average marks per subject.

Sol. We have:

Since, Sum of all the marks obtained= 90+85+80+75+70= 400

And, Number of the subjects= 5

Therefore , Average marks per subject = Sum of all marks obtained/ Number of the subjects

= 400/ 5

= 80

Thus, Kajal’s average marks per subject is 80.

Ex2. The daily earnings of a rickshaw puller during a week are:

Rs150, Rs140, Rs145, Rs130, Rs120, Rs90, Rs50. Find his average daily earning.

Sol. Total earnings = Rs(150+140+145+130+120+90+50)

Number of days = 7

Average earning per day = Rs825/7 =Rs117.85

Thus, his average daily earning is Rs117.85

Ex3. Find the average of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Sol. Average = 1+2+3+4+5/5 = 15/5 = 3

Thus, tthe average of the given numbers is 3.
