SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 62

SSC CGL - 24 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

What is the product of the average of first ten positive odd numbers and the average of first fifteen positive even numbers ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 160

The average of the first n natural odd numbers = n2/n   {where n = total terms}

The average of first 10 odd positive numbers = 102/10 = 10

The average of the first n natural even numbers = n(n +1)/n = n + 1

The average of first fifteen positive even numbers = 15 + 1 = 16

So, the required product = 10 × 16 = 160
