The average of 8 numbers is 14. The average of 6 of these numbers is 16. What is the average of the remaining two numbers?
-
- 12
- 6
- 8
- 10
Correct Option: C
Average of 8 numbers = 14
Sum of 8 numbers = 14 x 8 = 112
Similarly, average of 6 numbers = 16
Sum of 6 number = 16 x 6 = 96
∴ Sum of remaining two number
= Sum of 8 number - sum of 6 numbers
= 112- 96 = 16
Average = (sum of two number)/2 = 16/2 = 8
