Average questions with solutions
The average of 11 numbers is 59. If one number is removed, the average of the remaining numbers becomes 60. What is the removed number?
- (A)38
- (B)60
- (C)59
- (D)49
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (D) 49
Sum of all 11 numbers = 11 × 59 = 649. Sum of the remaining 10 numbers = 10 × 60 = 600. The removed number is the difference: 649 − 600 = 49.
Shortcut: Removed number = old average + (n − 1) × (old average − new average) = 59 + 10 × (-1).
