      Question

      A set contains ten numbers. The average of the first six

      numbers is (x βˆ’ 2), and the average of the last three numbers is (x + 4). The average of the entire set is 'x'. If the 7th number of the set is 28, then find the value of 'x'.
      A 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sum of the numbers of set = 10x Sum of first 6 numbers = 6(x βˆ’ 2) = 6x βˆ’ 12 Sum of last 3 numbers = 3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 ATP, 6x βˆ’ 12 + 28 + 3x + 12 = 10x 9x + 28 = 10x x = 28
