The average of 8 numbers is 56. If two of them are removed and the new average becomes 54, what is the average of the two removed numbers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 62.
Total of 8 numbers = 8 × 56 = 448
Total of 6 numbers = 6 × 54 = 324
Sum of removed two numbers = 448 – 324 = 124
Average of removing two numbers = 124/2 = 62
