-
- 45
- 0
- 50
- 47.5
- 45
Correct Option: B
Given that , The average marks obtained by 22 candidates in an examination = 45
The average marks of the first 10 candidates = 55 and The average marks of the last eleven = 40
∴ Marks obtained by eleventh candidate = 22 × 45 – (10 × 55 + 11 × 40)
Marks obtained by eleventh candidate = 990 – (550 + 440)
Marks obtained by eleventh candidate= 990 – 990 = 0
