Question 64

The average of 6 numbers is 18. If one number is excluded, the average becomes 17. What is the excluded number?

Solution

Average of 6 numbers = 18

=> Total sum of the numbers = $$(18\times6)=108$$

Let excluded number = $$x$$

New average = $$\frac{108-x}{5}=17$$

=> $$108-x=17\times5=85$$

=> $$x=108-85=23$$

=> Ans - (B)
