Q4. The sum of 8 consecutive odd numbers is 656. Also average of four consecutive even numbers is 87. What is the sum of the smallest odd number and second largest even number ?
∴ Smallest odd number = 82 - 7 = 75
Also, Average of even numbers = 87
2nd largest even number = 87 + 1 = 88
Thus, required sum = 75 + 88 = 163

Directions (6-10): Study the following table to answer the given questions: -
Percentage of marks obtained by six students in six subjects
Q6. What is total marks obtained by Gaurav in all subjects?
Q7. What is average marks obtained by these six students in maths?
Q8. What is overall percentage of Arun?
Q9. What is difference between the marks obtained by Ramesh in English, history and economics and by Sonu in same subjects?
= 60 × 100% + 50 × 60% + 80 × 80%
= 60 + 30 + 64 = 154
Marks obtained by sonu in same
= 60 × 50% + 50 × 90% + 80 × 75%
= 30 + 45 + 60 = 135
Difference = 154 – 135 = 19
