AFCAT Model Paper 5

Given:
The average runs scored by a batsman in the last 5 matches is 58
The highest number of runs scored by him was 109
The lowest number of runs scored by him was 10
Formula Used:
Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations
Calculation:
According to the question
⇒ Sum of runs score in 5 match = Average × number of match = 58 × 5 = 290
⇒ Sum of runs score in 5 match = 290 – 109 – 10 = 171
Let the first term of consecutive term be x,
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 171
⇒ 3x = 171 – 3
⇒x=

168

=56
∴ Highest consecutive term = 56 + 2 = 58
