1. The average of six numbers is x and the average of three is y. If the average of the remaining three is z, then :

  • A. x=y+z
  • B. x=y+z
  • C. x=y+z
  • D. x=y+z

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Hints: Average of 6 numbers = x

sum of 6 numbers = 6x

Average of the 3 numbers = y

sum of the 3 numbers = 3y

Average of the remaining 3 numbers = z

sum of the remaining 3 numbers = 3z

Now, we know that 6x = 3y + 3z

2x = y + z
