Correct Answer: 4.6


Solution : Given:
The average of six numbers = 3.95
The average of two numbers = 3.4
The average of the other two numbers = 3.85
According to the question,
The sum of all numbers = 6 × 3.95 = 23.7
The sum of two numbers = 2 × 3.4 = 6.8
The sum of the other two numbers = 2 × 3.85 = 7.7
The sum of the remaining two numbers = (sum of all numbers – sum of two numbers – sum of other two numbers)
= (23.7 – 6.8 – 7.7)
= 9.2
So, the average of two remaining numbers $=\frac{9.2}{2}=4.6$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.6.
