Question:

The average of a and b is 10, average of b and c is 12 and average of c and a is 15. What is the average of a, b and c?

Options:

$\frac{37}{3}$

$\frac{74}{3}$

74

37

Correct Answer:

$\frac{37}{3}$

Explanation:

Sum of a & b = 2 × 10 = 20

Sum of b & c = 2 × 12 = 24

Sum of c & a = 2 × 15 = 30

2 ( a + b + c ) = 74

a + b + c = \(\frac{74}{2}\)  = 37

Average of ( a + b + c ) =  \(\frac{37}{3}\)
