SSC GD Average question with solution
AverageModerateSSC GD 2024
The average of 10 numbers is 25. If one number is removed, the average of the remaining numbers becomes 24. What is the removed number?
- (A)24
- (B)34
- (C)25
- (D)10
Correct answer: (B) 34
Sum of all 10 numbers = 10 × 25 = 250. Sum of the remaining 9 numbers = 9 × 24 = 216. The removed number is the difference: 250 − 216 = 34.
Shortcut: Removed number = old average + (n − 1) × (old average − new average) = 25 + 9 × (1).
