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. |
