A. 37.5 B. 37.9 C. 36.5 D. 37.0 Answer: Option AShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
According to the question,
Average of 50 numbers is = 38
Sum of 50 numbers is = 38 × 50 = 1900
Two numbers discarded = 45 + 55 = 100
Sum of 48 numbers = 1900 – 100 = 1800
$\begin{array}{l}\text{∴ Average }\\
=\Large\frac{1800}{48}\\
=37.5\end{array}$
