Correct Answer: 22


Solution : An average of 19 numbers = 22.8
The sum of the 19 numbers = 22.8 × 19 = 433.2
Average of first 10 numbers = 18.4
Sum of first 10 numbers = 18.4 × 10 = 184
Average of last 10 numbers = 28.6
Sum of last 10 numbers = 28.6 × 10 = 286
10th number = 286 + 184 – 433.2 = 36.8
Sum of 18 numbers = 433.2 – 36.8 = 396.4
An average of 18 number = $\frac{\text{sum of 18 numbers}}{18}$
= $\frac{396.4}{18}$
= 22
Hence, the correct answer is 22.
