Arithmetic Mean Question 1:
Three numbers 5, p and 11 are in arithmetic progression then p = ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 1 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT :
If three numbers x, y, and z are in arithmetic progression then 2y = x + z.
CALCULATION:
Given: Three numbers 5, p and 11 are in arithmetic progression
As we know that, If three numbers x, y, and z are in arithmetic progression then 2y = x + z.
⇒ 2p = 5 + 11
⇒ 2p = 16
⇒ p = 8
Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.
Arithmetic Mean Question 2:
If a, b > 0, then the maximum value of \(\dfrac{a^3b}{(a + b)^4}\)is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
For any positive real numbers a1, a2, a3, ….., an. The following relation holds:
A.M. ≥ G.M.
- A.M. = \(\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}+.....+a_{n}}{n}\) ----(1)
-
G.M. = \(\sqrt[n]{a_{1}a_{2}a_{3}.....a_{n}}\) ----(2)
Calculation:
For the maximum value of a3b, there should be four terms among which three terms are containing variable a and one term containing the variable b. So that, when we multiply the terms, we get a3b. We have to do all this without distorting the equation given in the problems.
⇒ The terms of the equation would be a, a, a, and 3b.
Since A.M. ≥ G.M.
\(⇒ \frac{a+a+a+3b}{4}≥ \sqrt[4]{a\times a\times a\times 3b}\) [using (1) & (2)]
⇒ (3a + 3b)/4 ≥ (3a3b)1/4
⇒ [(3a + 3b)/4]4 ≥ 3a3b
⇒ (3/4)4 (a + b)4 ≥ 3a3b
⇒ (81/256) (a + b)4 ≥ 3a3b
⇒ 27/256 ≥ \(\dfrac{a^3b}{(a + b)^4}\)
Hence, the maximum value of \(\dfrac{a^3b}{(a + b)^4}\) is \(\dfrac{27}{256}\)
Arithmetic Mean Question 3:
Find the Arithmetic Mean between (a − b) and (a + b)?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Two numbers: x = a - b and y = a + b
Concept used:
The arithmetic mean (average) between two numbers x and y is given by:
Arithmetic Mean = \(\dfrac{x + y}{2}\)
Calculation:
Using the given values of x and y:
Arithmetic Mean = \(\dfrac{(a - b) + (a + b)}{2}\)
Simplifying the expression in the numerator:
Arithmetic Mean = \(\dfrac{2a}{2}\)
Canceling out the common factor of 2:
Arithmetic Mean = a
∴ The arithmetic mean between a - b and a + b is a.
Arithmetic Mean Question 4:
If loge a, loge b, loge c are in an A.P. and loge a – loge2b, loge2b – loge3c, loge3c – loge a are also in an A.P, then a ∶ b ∶ c is equal to
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 4 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Given
logea, logeb, logec are in A.P.
⇒ b2 = ac …..(i)
Also \(\log _c\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2 \mathrm{~b}}\right),\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{2\mathrm{~b}}{3\mathrm{c}}\right),\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{3\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\right) \) are in A.P.
⇒ \(\left(\frac{2\mathrm{~b}}{3\mathrm{c}}\right)^2=\frac{\mathrm{a}}{2\mathrm{~b}}\times\frac{3\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}} \)
⇒ \( \frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{3}{2}\)
Putting in eq. (I)
⇒ \(\mathrm{b}^2=\mathrm{a} \times \frac{2 \mathrm{~b}}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{3}{2}\)
a ∶ b ∶ c = 9 ∶ 6 ∶ 4
Hence option (1) is correct
Arithmetic Mean Question 5:
The arithmetic mean of five numbers is zero. The numbers may not be distinct. Which of the following must be true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
The arithmetic mean of five numbers is zero. The numbers may not be distinct.
Concept:
Apply concept of mean and sum of numbers.
Calculation:
The arithmetic mean of five numbers being zero implies that the sum of the numbers is zero.
Let the five numbers be a, b, c, d, e.
\(\rm \frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}=0\)
\(\rm a+b+c+d+e=0\)
Now, let's consider each option:
(1) The product of the numbers is zero:
This is not necessarily true. The sum being zero does not imply that the product is zero. For example,
1+1+1+1+(−4)=0, but the product is not 0
(2) At most two of these numbers are positive:
This is not necessarily true. Consider the example
1+1+1+1+(−4)=0. In this case,four numbers are positive.
(3) There cannot be exactly one zero:
This is not necessarily true. Consider the example
0+1+1+(-1)+(-1)=0. In this case, one is exactly zero.
(4) There cannot be exactly one non-zero number:
Hence the option (4) is correct.
Arithmetic Mean Question 6:
If a variable takes values 0, 1, 2, 3, …, n with frequencies 1, C(n, 1), C(n, 2), C(n, 3),…, C(n, n) respectively, then the arithmetic mean is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Mean: Let X be a random variable with values xi for i = 1, 2, …, n with frequencies fi. So:
Mean \(= \frac{{\mathop \sum \nolimits_{{\rm{i}} = 0}^{\rm{n}} {{\rm{x}}_{\rm{i}}}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}}}{{\mathop \sum \nolimits_{{\rm{i}} = 0}^{\rm{n}} {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}}}\)
Binomial expansion formula:
- (1+ x)n = nC0x0 + nC1x1 + nC2x2 + … + nCnxn
Calculation:
Given:
xi = i for i = 0, 1, 2, …, n
fi = nCi for i = 0, 1, 2, …, n
So, mean \(= \frac{{\mathop \sum \nolimits_{{\rm{i}} = 0}^{\rm{n}} {{\rm{x}}_{\rm{i}}}{{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}}}{{\mathop \sum \nolimits_{{\rm{i}} = 0}^{\rm{n}} {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}}}\)
\(= \frac{{0 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_0} + 1 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_1} + 2 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_2} + \ldots + {\rm{n}} \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{n}}}}}{{{{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_0} + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_1} + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_2} + \ldots + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{n}}}}}\)
Now we know that,
(1+ x)n = nC0x0 + nC1x1 + nC2x2 + … + nCnxn ----(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t x
⇒ n(1 + x)n-1 = 0 + 1 × nC1x + 2 × nC2x1 + … + n × nCnxn ----(2)
Put x = 1 in equation (2)
⇒ n × 2n-1 = 0 + 1 × nC1 + 2 × nC2 + … + n × nCn ----(3)
Put x = 1 in equation (1)
⇒ 2n = nC0x0 + nC1x1 + nC2x2 + … + nCnxn ----(4)
So, \(\frac{{0 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_0} + 1 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_1} + 2 \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_2} + \ldots + {\rm{n}} \times {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{n}}}}}{{{{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_0} + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_1} + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_2} + \ldots + {{\rm{\;}}^{\rm{n}}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{n}}}}} = \frac{{{\rm{n}} \times {2^{{\rm{n}} - 1}}}}{{{2^{\rm{n}}}}}\) [Using equation (3) & (4)]
\(= \frac{{\rm{n}}}{2}\)
Arithmetic Mean Question 7:
The roots of the equation x3 - 12x2 + 39x - 28 = 0 are in A. P., the common difference is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If third order equation ax3 + bx2 + cx + d =0 has a root α, β and γ then;
\(α + β + γ = - \frac{b}{a}\)
\(α β + β γ + γ α = \frac{c}{a}\)
\(α β γ = - \frac{d}{a}\)
Calculation:
Given:
x3 - 12x2 + 39x - 28 = 0
Let roots of given equation is α – d, α, α + d
\(α - d + α + α + d = - \frac{{ - 12}}{1}\)
3 α = 12
α = 4
\(\left( {α - d} \right)\left( α \right)\left( {α + d} \right) = - \left( {\frac{{ - 28}}{1}} \right)\)
4 – d ⋅ 4 ⋅ 4 + d = 28
16 – d2 = 7
D2 = 16 - 7 = 9
D = 3
Arithmetic Mean Question 8:
If A be an arithmetic mean between two numbers and S be the sum of n arithmetic means between the same numbers, then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- When any two consecutive numbers in a series have the same difference, they are in Arithmetic Progression or AP. An example of AP is 1 , 3 , 5 ...
- The difference between these two consecutive numbers of the series is called the common difference and it is often denoted by d.
- The formula for the arithmetic mean of two numbers a and b is \(A=\dfrac{a+b}{2}\)
- If there are n arithmetic means between two numbers a and b, then the numbers and the arithmetic means of the numbers are in AP where the first number is a and the last number is b.
- The sum of n numbers in AP is \(S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(a+b)\) where a is the first and b is the last number of the AP.
Calculation:
Given, A is the arithmetic mean between two numbers and S is the sum of n arithmetic means between the same numbers.
Let a and b be the two numbers in question. Then the according to the formula, the arithmetic mean between the two numbers \(A=\dfrac{a+b}{2}\)
Again, according to the formula, the sum of n arithmetic means between the same numbers a and b is \(S=\dfrac{n}{2}(a+b)\) as all the n arithmetic means are in AP.
Hence, the relation between A and S is \(S=nA\)
Arithmetic Mean Question 9:
If Arithmetic mean and Geometric mean of two positive numbers a and b are 10 and 8 respectively, find the numbers
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If A is the arithmetic mean between a and b,
\(⇒ A=\frac{a+b}{2}\)
If G is the geometric mean between a and b,
⇒ G = √ab
The quadratic equation having roots (α, β) is x2 - (α + β)x + αβ = 0.
Calculation:
We have, the arithmetic mean of a and b is 10.
\(⇒ 10=\frac{a+b}{2}\)
⇒ a + b = 20 ----(1)
Also, the geometric mean of a and b is 8.
⇒ 8 = √ab
⇒ ab = 64 ----(2)
Clearly, from equations (1) & (2), we get that a and b are the roots of the quadratic equation given below:
x2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0
⇒ x2 - 20x + 64 = 0
⇒ (x - 16)(x - 4) = 0
⇒ x = 16 or 4
⇒ a = 16 and b = 4 or a = 4 or b = 16
Hence, the numbers are 4 and 16.
Arithmetic Mean Question 10:
Comprehension:
Consider the following statements
I. The sum of x and y is \(\frac{(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{c})^2}{2}\).
II. The sum of x and y is \(\frac{(a+b)^2}{2}\)
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arithmetic Mean Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If three terms a, b, c are in G.P.,
then, b is the geometric mean of a and c
that is, b2 = ac or b = √ac .
AM of a and b = \({a + b\over 2}\)
Calculation:
Given, a, b, c are in GP
⇒ b = √ac
And, x, y are the AM's between a, b and b, c respectively
⇒ x = \({a + b\over 2}\) and y = \({b + c\over 2}\)
⇒ x + y = \({a + b\over 2}\) + \({b + c\over 2}\)
⇒ x + y = \({a\ +\ 2b\ + \ c\over 2}\)
⇒ x + y = \({a\ +\ 2\sqrt {ac}\ + \ c\over 2}\)
⇒ x + y = \({(\sqrt a)^2\ +\ 2\sqrt a \sqrt c\ + \ (\sqrt c)^2\over 2}\)
⇒ x + y = \(\frac{(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{c})^2}{2}\)
So, only statement I is correct.
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
