Question : The average of 5 numbers is 48. The average of the two numbers is 40 while the average of the other two is 58. Find the value of the remaining number.
Option 1: 44
Option 2: 34
Option 3: 40
Option 4: 30
Correct Answer: 44
Solution :
The total sum of the 5 numbers = (48 × 5) = 240
The sum of the two numbers = (40 × 2) = 80
The sum of the other two = (58 × 2) = 116
So, the value of the remaining number = 240 – (116 + 80) = 240 – 196 = 44
Hence, the correct answer is 44.
