  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    The average of 12 numbers is 18.5. The average of first six numbers is 16.8 and that of the last seven numbers is 17.4. If the 6th number is excluded, then what is the average (correct to one decimal place) of remaining 11 numbers?
    Solutions

    Average of 12 numbers = 18.5

    Sum of 12 numbers = 18.5 × 12 = 222

    Average of first six numbers = 16.8

    Sum of first six numbers = 6 × 16.8 = 100.8

    Sum of last seven numbers = 7 × 17.4 = 121.8

    So the sixth number is given by :

    = (sum of first six numbers ) + ( sum of last seven numbers ) – ( sum of al, twelve numbers )

    = 121.8 + 100.8 – 222

    = 0.6

    Average after excluding this number =
