Question:

The average of the first four numbers is three times the fifth number. If the average of all the five numbers is 85.8, then the fifth number is:

Options:

33

34

39

29

Correct Answer:

33

Explanation:

Sum of all five numbers = 5 x 85.5 = 427.5

Lets assume 5th number be x

Average of 4 numbers = 3x

Sum of 4 numbers = 12x

So, x = 427.5 - 12x

      x = 32.88 ≅ 33
