Options:

44

50

52

56

Correct Answer:

56

Explanation:

Average  of 11 results = 50

⇒ Sum of these 11 results = 550

Sum of first six numbers = 49 × 6 = 294

Sum of last six numbers = 52 × 6 = 312

∴ Sixth number = Sum of first six numbers + Sum of last six numbers − Sum of all numbers

Sixth number  = 294 + 312 – 550 = 56
