The average of 10 observation is 30. The average of 1st six observation is 40 and the average of last five observation is 20. Find the 6th observation1. 402. 383. 204. 15

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 40

Given:

Total observation = 10

Average of 10 observation = 30

Average of 1st six observation = 40

Average of last five observation = 20

Formula used:

Average = Total sum/Total number

Total sum = Average × Total number

Calculation:

The average of 10 observation = 30

30 = (Total sum of 10 observation)/10

Total sum of 10 observation = 30 × 10 = 300

Total sum of 1st six observation = 40 × 6 = 240

Total sum of last five observation = 20 × 5 = 100

6th observation is common in both 1st and last

6th observation = (Total sum of 1st six observation + Total sum of last five observation) - Total sum of 10 observation

⇒ 6th observation = (240 + 100) – 300

⇒ 340 – 300

⇒ 40

∴ 6th observation is 40.
