      The average of 6 numbers is 40. Later, two more numbers

      are added whose average is 'x' . After this, the overall average becomes 20% more than before. What is the value of 'x'?
      A 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Sum of 6 numbers = 6 Γ— 40 = 240 New average after adding 2 numbers = 40 Γ— 1.2 = 48 Total sum of 8 numbers = 8 Γ— 48 = 384 Sum of new 2 numbers = 384 - 240 = 144 Average of 2 new numbers = 144 Γ· 2 = 72 So, value of x = 72
