A. 50
B. 51
C. 52
D. 53

Solution

The total of the 10 numbers is 10 * 50 = 500. If one number is increased by 10, the new total becomes 500 + 10 = 510. The new average is 510 / 10 = 51.

Q. The average of 10 numbers is 50. If one number is replaced by 70, what will be the new average?

A. 50
B. 52
C. 54
D. 56

Solution

The sum of the 10 numbers is 10 * 50 = 500. Replacing one number with 70 gives a new sum of 500 - x + 70. The new average is (500 - x + 70) / 10. Since x is 50, the new average is (500 - 50 + 70) / 10 = 52.
