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. |
