Question:

The average of 11 results is 30. If the average of the first five is 25 and that of the last five 28, then find the sixth result.

Options:

90

50

65

75

Correct Answer:

65

Explanation:

Total of 11 numbers = 11 × 30

Total of 1st five numbers = 5 × 25

Total of last five numbers = 5 × 28

ATQ,

(11 × 30)  = (5 × 25) + 6th no. + (5 × 28)

5 (11 × 6) =  5 (28 + 25) + 6th no.

5(66) - 5 (53) = 6th no.

5(66 – 53) = 6th no.

6th no. = 5 × 13

6th no. =  65
