Math Problem Statement

If the average of P numbers is Q2 and the average of Q numbers is P2 , then the average of (P + Q) numbers will be:

Solution

To find the average of P+QP + Q numbers when given the averages of PP and QQ numbers, we can use the properties of averages and sums.

Given:

  • The average of PP numbers is Q2Q^2.
  • The average of QQ numbers is P2P^2.

First, let's find the total sum of the PP numbers: Sum of P numbers=P×Q2\text{Sum of } P \text{ numbers} = P \times Q^2

Next, let's find the total sum of the QQ numbers: Sum of Q numbers=Q×P2\text{Sum of } Q \text{ numbers} = Q \times P^2

Now, we need to find the total sum of all P+QP + Q numbers combined: Total sum=P×Q2+Q×P2\text{Total sum} = P \times Q^2 + Q \times P^2

The average of the P+QP + Q numbers is the total sum divided by the total number of numbers: Average of (P+Q) numbers=P×Q2+Q×P2P+Q\text{Average of } (P + Q) \text{ numbers} = \frac{P \times Q^2 + Q \times P^2}{P + Q}

This can be simplified further if needed, but the expression itself is the required solution.

Therefore, the average of P+QP + Q numbers is: P×Q2+Q×P2P+Q\frac{P \times Q^2 + Q \times P^2}{P + Q}
