Question:
Find the average of even numbers from 10 to 1454
Correct Answer
732
Solution And Explanation
Solution
Method (1) to find the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1454
Shortcut Trick to find the average of the given continuous even numbers
The even numbers from 10 to 1454 are
10, 12, 14, . . . . 1454
After observing the above list of the even numbers from 10 to 1454 we find that the difference between two consecutive terms are equal. This means the list of the even numbers from 10 to 1454 form an Arithmetic Series.
In the Arithmetic Series of the even numbers from 10 to 1454
The First Term (a) = 10
The Common Difference (d) = 2
And the last term (ℓ) = 1454
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 1454
= 10 + 1454/2
= 1464/2 = 732
Thus, the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1454 = 732 Answer
Method (2) to find the average of the even numbers from 10 to 1454
Finding the average of given continuous even numbers after finding their sum
The even numbers from 10 to 1454 are
10, 12, 14, . . . . 1454
The even numbers from 10 to 1454 form an Arithmetic Series in which
The First Term (a) = 10
The Common Difference (d) = 2
And the last term (ℓ) = 1454
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 1454
1454 = 10 + (n – 1) × 2
⇒ 1454 = 10 + 2 n – 2
⇒ 1454 = 10 – 2 + 2 n
⇒ 1454 = 8 + 2 n
After transposing 8 to LHS
⇒ 1454 – 8 = 2 n
⇒ 1446 = 2 n
After rearranging the above expression
⇒ 2 n = 1446
After transposing 2 to RHS
⇒ n = 1446/2
⇒ n = 723
Thus, the number of terms of even numbers from 10 to 1454 = 723
This means 1454 is the 723th term.
Finding the sum of the given even numbers from 10 to 1454
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 1454
= 723/2 (10 + 1454)
= 723/2 × 1464
= 723 × 1464/2
= 1058472/2 = 529236
Thus, the sum of all terms of the given even numbers from 10 to 1454 = 529236
And, the total number of terms = 723
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 1454
= 529236/723 = 732
Thus, the average of the given even numbers from 10 to 1454 = 732 Answer
