The average of 9 numbers is 48 while the average of the first 7 numbers is 40. If the ratio of remaining 2 numbers is 3 ∶ 5, find the larger number between the remaining two numbers.1. 552. 573. 904. 95

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 95

Given:

The avg of 7 numbers is 40 while the avg of 9 numbers is 48.

The ratio of the remaining 2 numbers is 3 ∶ 5.

Concepts used:

avg= Sum of all observations/Number of observations

Calculation:

Sum of 7 observations = 40 × 7 = 280

Sum of 9 observations = 48 × 9 = 432

Sum of remaining 2 observations = Sum of 9 observations – Sum of 7 observations

⇒ 432 – 280 = 152

Let the two numbers be 3x and 5x.

According to the question

⇒ 3x + 5x = 152

⇒ 8x = 152

⇒ x = 19

Larger number = 5x

⇒ 5 × 19 = 95

∴ The value of larger number between remaining two numbers is 95.
