Correct Answer: 82


Solution : The average mark obtained by 19 boys in a college is 48.
Total marks = 19 × 48 = 912
If the highest and lowest marks obtained are removed, the average is reduced by 4.
Remaining 17 boys average = 48 – 4 = 44
Total marks of 17 boys = 17 × 44 = 748
Total marks of highest and lowest = 912 – 748 = 164
Average mark of highest and lowest $=\frac{164}{2}=82$
Hence, the correct answer is 82.
