Question : The average of twelve numbers is 39. The average of the last five numbers is 35, and that of the first four numbers is 40. The fifth number is 6 less than the sixth number and 5 more than the seventh number. The average of the fifth and sixth numbers is:
Option 1: 47
Option 2: 39
Option 3: 44
Option 4: 50
Correct Answer: 47
Solution : The average of twelve numbers is 39. Sum of twelve numbers = 39 × 12 = 468 The average of the last five numbers = 35 The sum of last five numbers = 35 × 5 = 175 Average of the first four numbers = 40 The sum of the first four numbers = 40 × 4 = 160 Let $x$ be the fifth number. Sixth number = $x+6$ Seventh number = $x-5$ So, $160 + x + x+6 + x-5 + 175 = 468$ ⇒ $3x = 468-336$ ⇒ $x = \frac{132}{3} = 44$ Average of fifth and sixth number = $\frac{44+50}{2}$ = 47 Hence, the correct answer is 47.
