Correct Answer
552
Solution And Explanation
Solution
Method (1) to find the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1094
Shortcut Trick to find the average of the given continuous even numbers
The even numbers from 10 to 1094 are
10, 12, 14, . . . . 1094
After observing the above list of the even numbers from 10 to 1094 we find that the difference between two consecutive terms are equal. This means the list of the even numbers from 10 to 1094 form an Arithmetic Series.
In the Arithmetic Series of the even numbers from 10 to 1094
The First Term (a) = 10
The Common Difference (d) = 2
And the last term (ℓ) = 1094
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 10 to 1094
= 10 + 1094/2
= 1104/2 = 552
Thus, the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1094 = 552 Answer
Method (2) to find the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1094
Finding the average of given continuous even numbers after finding their sum
The even numbers from 10 to 1094 are
10, 12, 14, . . . . 1094
The even numbers from 10 to 1094 form an Arithmetic Series in which
The First Term (a) = 10
The Common Difference (d) = 2
And the last term (ℓ) = 1094
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 10 to 1094
1094 = 10 + (n – 1) × 2
⇒ 1094 = 10 + 2 n – 2
⇒ 1094 = 10 – 2 + 2 n
⇒ 1094 = 8 + 2 n
After transposing 8 to LHS
⇒ 1094 – 8 = 2 n
⇒ 1086 = 2 n
After rearranging the above expression
⇒ 2 n = 1086
After transposing 2 to RHS
⇒ n = 1086/2
⇒ n = 543
Thus, the number of terms of even numbers from 10 to 1094 = 543
This means 1094 is the 543th term.
Finding the sum of the given even numbers from 10 to 1094
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 10 to 1094
= 543/2 (10 + 1094)
= 543/2 × 1104
= 543 × 1104/2
= 599472/2 = 299736
Thus, the sum of all terms of the given even numbers from 10 to 1094 = 299736
And, the total number of terms = 543
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 10 to 1094
= 299736/543 = 552
Thus, the average of the given even numbers from 10 to 1094 = 552 Answer
