    • Question

      The average of ‘x’ numbers is 20. If 65% of the numbers

      are decreased by 2 and the remaining numbers are increased by 5, then find the new average of the ‘x’ numbers.
      A 20.55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 44.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25.40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 23.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Sum of ‘x’ numbers = 20x

      New sum of the ‘x’ numbers = 20x – 0.65x × 2 + 0.35x × 5 = 20.55x

      Therefore, new average = 20.55x/x = 20.55
