Solutions
Given:
Ram's average mark in 5 subjects is 80,
Ram's average mark in 6 subjects is 82.
Formula used:
Sum of n numbers = (Average of n numbers) × n
Calculation:
Average marks scored in 5 subjects = 80
Total marks obtained in all 5 subjects = 80 × 5 = 400
Total number of subjects = 6
Average marks scored in 6 subjects = 82
Total marks obtained in all 6 subjects = 82 × 6 = 492
Therefore,
Marks obtained in 6th subject = 492 - 400 = 92
Therefore, '92' is the required answer.
Alternate Method
Ram's average mark in m subjects is x. he must score n marks in his next subject to get average marks of y.
Therefore,
n = m × (y - x) + y
According to the question,
⇒ n = 5 × (82 - 80) + 82
⇒ n = 5 × 2 + 82
⇒ n = 10 + 82
⇒ n = 92
So, he must score 92 marks in his next subject to get an average mark of 82.
Therefore, '92' is the required answer.
