The average cost of 10 items is Rs.89. If one item costs Rs.35, then find the average cost of remaining 9 items (in Rs.).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 95.

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

The average of remaining 9 items = (890 - 35)/9 = 855/9 = Rs.95
