    Question

    The average of ‘x’ numbers is 18. If 40% of the numbers

    are decreased by 4 and the remaining numbers are increased by 6, then find the new average of the ‘x’ numbers.
    A 31.9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 19.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of ‘x’ numbers = 18x

    New sum of the ‘x’ numbers = 18x – 0.4x × 4 + 0.6x × 6 = 19.6x

    Therefore, new average = 19.6x/x = 19.6
