Question 35

Six friends have an average height of 167 cms. A boy with height 162 cm leaves the group. Find the new average height.

Solution

Average height of 6 friends = 167 cm

=> Sum of height of 6 friends = $$167\times6=1002$$ cm

When the boy with height 162 cm left, sum of height of remaining 5 friends = $$1002-162=840$$ cm

=> Required average = $$\frac{840}{5}=168$$ cm

=> Ans - (A)
