The average of 8 numbers is 20. The average of first two numbers is $15 \Large\frac{1}{2}$ and that of the next three is $21 \Large\frac{1}{3}$. If the sixth number be less than the seventh and eighth numbers by 4 and 7 respectively, then the eight number is-
A. 18 B. 22 C. 25 D. 27 Answer: Option CShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
Let the eight number be x
Then, sixth number = (x – 7)
Seventh number = (x – 7) + 4 = (x – 3)
So,
$\begin{aligned}&\Leftrightarrow\left(2\times15\frac{1}{2}\right)+\left(3\times21\frac{1}{2}\right)+(x-7)+(x-3)+x=8\times20\\
&\Leftrightarrow31+64+(3x-10)=160\\
&\Leftrightarrow3x=75\\
&\Leftrightarrow x=25\end{aligned}$
