Correct Answer: 25
Solution : Let the six numbers be a, b, c, d, e, and f The average of the 1st five numbers is 30 So, a+b+c+d+e = 30×5 = 150 ......................(1) The average of the last five numbers is 25. So, b+c+d+e+f = 25×5 =125 .......................(2) Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) we get, a – f = 150 – 125 = 25 Hence, the correct answer is 25.
