Correct Answer: 4.36
Solution :
Given: The average of six numbers = 3.52.
The average of two of them = 3.7
The average of the other two is 2.5
We know that, the sum of numbers = Average × Count of numbers
So, the total sum of six numbers = 3.52 × 6= 21.12
And, the total sum of the first two numbers = 3.7 × 2 = 7.4
And, the total sum of the other two numbers = 2.5 × 2 = 5
So, the total sum of remaining two numbers = 21.12 – 7.4 – 5 = 8.72
Now, Average of remaining two numbers = $\frac{8.72}{2}$ = 4.36
Hence, the correct answer is 4.36.
