Question:     Find the average of even numbers from 8 to 1250


Correct Answer  629

Solution And Explanation

Solution

Method (1) to find the average of the even numbers from 8 to 1250

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

The even numbers from 8 to 1250 are

8, 10, 12, . . . . 1250

After observing the above list of the even numbers from 8 to 1250 we find that the difference between two consecutive terms are equal. This means the list of the even numbers from 8 to 1250 form an Arithmetic Series.

In the Arithmetic Series of the even numbers from 8 to 1250

The First Term (a) = 8

The Common Difference (d) = 2

And the last term (ℓ) = 1250

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 even numbers from 8 to 1250

= 8 + 1250/2

= 1258/2 = 629

Thus, the average of the even numbers from 8 to 1250 = 629 Answer

Method (2) to find the average of the even numbers from 8 to 1250

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

The even numbers from 8 to 1250 are

8, 10, 12, . . . . 1250

The even numbers from 8 to 1250 form an Arithmetic Series in which

The First Term (a) = 8

The Common Difference (d) = 2

And the last term (ℓ) = 1250

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 even numbers from 8 to 1250

1250 = 8 + (n – 1) × 2

⇒ 1250 = 8 + 2 n – 2

⇒ 1250 = 8 – 2 + 2 n

⇒ 1250 = 6 + 2 n

After transposing 6 to LHS

⇒ 1250 – 6 = 2 n

⇒ 1244 = 2 n

After rearranging the above expression

⇒ 2 n = 1244

After transposing 2 to RHS

⇒ n = 1244/2

⇒ n = 622

Thus, the number of terms of even numbers from 8 to 1250 = 622

This means 1250 is the 622th term.

Finding the sum of the given even numbers from 8 to 1250

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 even numbers from 8 to 1250

= 622/2 (8 + 1250)

= 622/2 × 1258

= 622 × 1258/2

= 782476/2 = 391238

Thus, the sum of all terms of the given even numbers from 8 to 1250 = 391238

And, the total number of terms = 622

Since, the average of the given numbers

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

Thus, the average of the given even numbers from 8 to 1250

= 391238/622 = 629

Thus, the average of the given even numbers from 8 to 1250 = 629 Answer
