Question:

The average of 28 numbers is 77. The average of first 14 numbers is 74 and the average of last 15 numbers is 84. If the 14th number is excluded, then what is the average of remaining numbers? (correct to one decimal places)

Options:

76.9

77

73.1

74.7

Correct Answer:

74.7

Explanation:

Sum of 28 numbers = 28 x 77 = 2156

Sum of 1st 14 numbers = 14 x 74 = 1036

Sum of last 15 numbers = 15 x 84 = 1260

14th number = 1036 + 1260 - 2156 = 140

Average 0f numbers excluding 14th number = \(\frac{2156 - 140}{27}\) = 74.66 ≅ 74.7
