Question

    The average of 25 values is 62. The average of the first

    13 values is 60, and the average of the last 13 values is 65. If the 13th value is excluded, find the average of the remaining values (accurate to two decimal places).
    A 60.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 52.55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 61.46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 78.55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, The sum of 25 values = (25 × 62) = 1550 The sum of first 13 values = (13 × 60) = 780 The sum of last 13 values = (13 × 65) = 845 Now, The 13th value = [(780 + 845) – 1550] = (1625 – 1550) = 75 The 13th value = 75 Now, If the 13th value is excluded, The sum of remaining values = (1550 – 75) = 1475 The average of remaining values = (1475 ÷ 24) = 61.46
