The average of nine numbers is 50. The average of the first five numbers is 54 and that of the last three numbers is 52. Then the sixth number is
-
- 34
- 24
- 44
- 30
Correct Option: B
Required number = (Sum of all numbers) - [(Sum of first 5 numbers) + (Sum of last 3 numbers)
= 50 x 9 - ( 54 x 5 + 3 x 52)
= 450 - (270 + 156) = 450 - 426 ≈ 24
