Question : If the average of 20, 40, 50, Y and Z is 45, then what is the average of Y and Z?
Option 1: 58.5
Option 2: 57.5
Option 3: 56.5
Option 4: 55
Correct Answer: 57.5
Solution :
The average of 20, 40, 50, Y, and Z is 45.
The sum of these numbers = 45 × 5 = 225
So, the sum of Y and Z is,
Y + Z = 225 – 20 – 40 – 50 = 115
Average = $\frac{Y + Z}{2} = \frac{115}{2}$ = 57.5
Hence, the correct answer is 57.5.
