The audible range of hearing for average human beings is in the frequency range of 

The audible range of hearing for average human beings is in the frequency range of  Correct Answer 20 Hz – 20 kHz

The correct answer is 20 Hz – 20 kHz.

Key Points

  • Frequency can be divided into three categories based on their frequency range:
    • ​Audible sound waves: The frequency range of this wave is 20 Hz - 20 kHz.
    • Humans can easily detect these types of waves.
    • Example: Sound produced by Vocal cords.
    • Infrasonic waves: The frequency range of these types of waves is below 20Hz. Humans cannot detect it. 
    • Example: Sound produced by Earthquake, Volcanic eruption and ocean waves, etc.
    • Ultrasonic waves or Ultrasound waves: The sound frequency above 20,000Hz is known as ultrasonic waves. Humans cannot detect it too.

"Too often we try to solve human problem with non-human tools and in terms of non-human data. It is my simple thesis that a human problem requires a human solution. First we have to learn to recognise a human problem when we see one; and second, upon recognising it, we have to learn to deal with it as such and not as it were something else. A human problem to be brought to a human solution requires human data and human tools". Who said this?

Questions below followed by three quantities. Find the relationship between them. Quantity I: In a class with a certain number of students if a teacher weighing 78 kg is added, then average weight of class is increased by 2 kg. If one more teacher weighing 66 kg is added, then the average weight of the class increases by 3.5 kg over the original average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class? Quantity II: The average age of 16 students and their teacher's age is 16 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, the average reduces by 2. What is the teacher's age? Quantity III: Average weight of three friends A, B and C is 46 kg. Another person D joins the group and now the average is 45 kg. If another person E whose weight is 6 kg more than D, joins the group replacing A, then average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 47 kg. What is the weight of A (in kg)?
