Question 10

Average of 14 numbers is 32. If the average of last 5 numbers is 26, then what is the average of the remaining numbers?

Solution

Average of 14 numbers = 32

=> Sum of 14 numbers = $$32\times14=448$$

Average of last 5 numbers = 26

=> Sum of last 5 numbers = $$26\times5=130$$

Thus, sum of remaining (14-5) 9 numbers = $$448-130=318$$

$$\therefore$$ Required average = $$\frac{318}{9}=35.33$$
