Correct Answer: 39.2


Solution : The sum of 45 numbers = 45 × 39 = 1755
According to the question,
The correct sum of 45 numbers = 1755 – 56 + 65 = 1764
The correct average of the given numbers $=\frac{\text{The sum of values}}{\text{The total number of values}}=\frac{1764}{45} = 39.2$
Hence, the correct answer is 39.2.
