Maths / Average MCQs Math — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. 27
  2. B. 30
  3. C. 35
  4. D. None of these

Correct answer

35

Explanation

Explanation Initially, the average of five numbers is 27, so the sum of these five numbers is: 5 x 27 = 135 If one number is excluded, the average becomes 25, which means the sum of the remaining four numbers is: 4 x 25 = 100 Now, let's find the excluded number by subtracting the sum of the remaining four numbers from the initial sum: 135 - 100 = 35 So, the excluded number is 35 .
