Question:

The average of the first four numbers is five times the fifth number. If the average of all five numbers is 84, then the fifth number is?

Options:

22

25

20

28

Correct Answer:

20

Explanation:

Let fifth number = x

Avg. of first 4 number = 5x

Sum of first 4 number = 5x × 4 = 20 x

Avg. = \(\frac{20x + x}{5}\) = 84

          ⇒ 21 x = 84 × 5

                  x = 20
