Question:     Find the average of odd numbers from 13 to 1399


Correct Answer  706

Solution And Explanation

Solution

Method (1) to find the average of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399

Shortcut Trick to find the average of the given continuous odd numbers

The odd numbers from 13 to 1399 are

13, 15, 17, . . . . 1399

After observing the above list of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399 we find that the difference between two consecutive terms are equal. This means the list of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399 form an Arithmetic Series.

In the Arithmetic Series of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399

The First Term (a) = 13

The Common Difference (d) = 2

And the last term (ℓ) = 1399

The average of the numbers forming an Arithmetic Series

= The first term (a) + The last term (ℓ)/2

⇒ The average of numbers forming an Arithmetic Series = a + ℓ/2

Thus, the average of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399

= 13 + 1399/2

= 1412/2 = 706

Thus, the average of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399 = 706 Answer

Method (2) to find the average of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399

Finding the average of given continuous odd numbers after finding their sum

The odd numbers from 13 to 1399 are

13, 15, 17, . . . . 1399

The odd numbers from 13 to 1399 form an Arithmetic Series in which

The First Term (a) = 13

The Common Difference (d) = 2

And the last term (ℓ) = 1399

The Average of the given numbers

= Sum of the given numbers/Total number of given numbers

Thus, to find the average of the given numbers, first, we need to find their sum and the total number of given numbers

Finding the number of terms

For an Arithmetic Series, the nth term

an = a + (n – 1) d

Where

a = First term

d = Common difference

n = number of terms

an = nth term

Thus, for the given series of the odd numbers from 13 to 1399

1399 = 13 + (n – 1) × 2

⇒ 1399 = 13 + 2 n – 2

⇒ 1399 = 13 – 2 + 2 n

⇒ 1399 = 11 + 2 n

After transposing 11 to LHS

⇒ 1399 – 11 = 2 n

⇒ 1388 = 2 n

After rearranging the above expression

⇒ 2 n = 1388

After transposing 2 to RHS

⇒ n = 1388/2

⇒ n = 694

Thus, the number of terms of odd numbers from 13 to 1399 = 694

This means 1399 is the 694th term.

Finding the sum of the given odd numbers from 13 to 1399

The sum of all terms (S) in an Arithmetic Series

= n/2 (a + ℓ)

Where, n = number of terms

a = First term

And, ℓ = Last term

Thus, the sum of all terms (S) of the given odd numbers from 13 to 1399

= 694/2 (13 + 1399)

= 694/2 × 1412

= 694 × 1412/2

= 979928/2 = 489964

Thus, the sum of all terms of the given odd numbers from 13 to 1399 = 489964

And, the total number of terms = 694

Since, the average of the given numbers

= Sum of the given numbers/Total number of given numbers

Thus, the average of the given odd numbers from 13 to 1399

= 489964/694 = 706

Thus, the average of the given odd numbers from 13 to 1399 = 706 Answer
