Quantitative Aptitude Topic of the day: Averages
Averages questions are quite easy to attempt if the concepts are clear.
Suppose there are N numbers, then their average is their sum divided by that is,
Average=(sum / N)
Weighted Average: The average between two sets of numbers is closer to the set with more numbers.
if 3 batsmen scored 25 runs and 2 batsmen scored 35 runs the average of the team won’t be 30. Rather it will be
= (25×3 + 35×2 )/5 = 29 . This is nearer to 25 since more batsmen scored 25 runs.

5. The average of first 99 even numbers = (2+4+ 6+…..+198)/99 = 100
Use an AP sum to solve the problem = (n/2)(a + l) = 99/2 (2+198) = 9900 => 9900/99 = 100.
