Correct Answer: 104


Solution : Use: Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
An average of 25 results = 20
⇒ Sum of 25 results = 20 × 25 = 500
Average of first 12 results = 15
⇒ Sum of first 12 results = 15 × 12 = 180
The average of the last 12 results = 18
⇒ Sum of last 12 results = 18 × 12 = 216
13th result = sum of 25 results – (sum of first 12 results + sum of last 12 results)
= 500 – (180 + 216)
= 104
Hence, the correct answer is 104.
