Option 1: 32.75
Option 2: 37.25
Option 3: 34.75
Option 4: 34.25
Correct Answer: 32.75
Solution :
Given: A boy found that the average of 20 numbers is 35.
When he writes a number '61' instead of '16'.
Difference = 61 – 16 = 45
$\therefore$ Correct average = 35 – $\frac{45}{20}$ = 35 – 2.25 = 32.75
Hence, the correct answer is 32.75.
