How average worksऔसत को समझिए

Sum = average × count. Most problems become easy once you write both the old and the new sums.

Replacement: if replacing one person raises the average of n people by d, the new person is n × d heavier (or older) than the person replaced.

Deviation method: pick a convenient base, add up how far each value is from it, and adjust. It avoids big additions.

Back-solve from the middle option

Use it when:कब इस्तेमाल करें: The question is easy to check but slow to set up as an equation (ages, mixtures, “find the number”).

  1. Options on this site are in ascending order (as in most printed papers), so start with B or C.
  2. Plug it into the question. Too big? The answer is above it. Too small? Below.
  3. At most two checks find the answer.
Exampleउदाहरण

The father is 3 times his son’s age; in 12 years he will be twice the son’s age. Son’s age? (a) 10 (b) 12 (c) 14 (d) 16

→ Try 12: father 36; in 12 years 48 and 24 → 2 times. Done.

Why it works, and when it failsयह क्यों काम करती है, और कब नहीं

Why:क्यों: Checking a candidate is a few multiplications; with sorted options each check halves the choices, so two checks cover four options.

Limits:सीमाएँ: Not for “cannot be determined” options or questions with several unknowns. Write the equation then.

  3. Example 3उदाहरण 3 · Averages: replacement and batting average · Hardकठिन

    Shubman scores 73 runs in the 17th innings, and this increases the batting average by 2. What is the batting average after the 17th innings?

    1. 41
    2. 45
