Correct Answer: 20
Solution : The average height of 40 sticks is 156 cm. Total height = 40 × 156 cm Some sticks of average height 162 cm are taken out. Let that number of sticks be $x$. According to the question, $40 × 156 -162x=150(40-x)$ $⇒6240-162x=6000-150x$ $⇒12x=240$ $\therefore x = 20$ So, the remaining sticks = 40 - 20 = 20 Hence, the correct answer is 20.
