Average

Average
In this post, We will learn about average. 
Average of any collection of data is the sum of data divide by number of data.
Average = (Sum of observations / Number of observations)

problems
The arithmetic mean of x, y and z is 80, and that of x, y, z, u and v is 75, where u=(x+y)/2 and v=(y+z)/2. If x ≥ z, then the minimum possible value of x is (CAT 2018)

As specified in the question mean of x and y and z is 80
x+y+z=3*80
mean of x, y, z,u,v is 75
x+y+z+u+v=75*5
2u=x+y
2v=y+z
x+y+z+((x+y+y+z)/2)=75*5
y+3(x+y+z)=75*10
y=750-720
y=30
since x+y+z=240
y=30
so x+z=210
since x>=z
so minimum value of x=210/2 = 105
Problem2: In first 5 inings sehwag has scored at average of 40. In sixth ining He had scored 52 what is His average after 6th ining.
one simple approach is getting total score divided by no of inings
total score= (40*5+52)
avg after 6th ining: 252/6=42
anoter approach will be get difference between current score and previous average and eaually distribute that difference by total no of measurements after new record added.
52-40=12
now 12 distributed bw 6 will be 2.
so new avg = old avg + 2
so new avg = 40 + 2=42

Equations

In general we frame real life problems into some mathematical formula called equations in which we use constant and some variables(unknown) Example: Ram is 12 years old.Ram 's age is 3/5 of Shyam's age what is Shyam's age. Let Shyam's age is x then 3/5 of sham's age is 3*x/5 x*3/5=12 x=60/3=20 so Shyam's age is 20. Linear equations When there is a linear combination of unknown variables is there then eqn is linear Example: 3x+ 2y+ 4z=9 Non Linear Equations: Equations in which non linear combination of the variable is there then eqn is non linear. When any 2 unknown variable multiplication present in the equation then it is the nonlinear equation. Example: 2x+5yz=98 is a nonlinear equation because yz multiplication is there: Quadratic equation in one variable: x^2 + 4*x + 2=0 is non linear because unknown variable x is being multiplied in term x^2 Quadratic equation in many variable: x^2 + y^2 +z^2 + w=0 cubic equati...

Vertex Cover

Vertex Cover In this tutorial, We will learn about the vertex cover in graph theory. Vertex Cover  A vertex cover of an undirected graph is a subset of its vertices such that for every edge (u, v) of the graph, either u or v is in vertex cover i.e minimum number of vertices that covers all edges of the given graph.
