The average of 60 numbers is 25. If two numbers 40 and 50 are discarded, find the average of the remaining numbers.

Question: The average of 60 numbers is 25. If two numbers 40 and 50 are discarded, find the average of the remaining numbers.Solution:Given,Average of 60 numbers = 25Sum of 50 numbers = 25 × 60 = 1500Sum of discarded numbers = 40 + 50 = 90Sum of remaining numbers = 1500 - 90 = 1410Now, total remaining numbers = 60 - 2 = 58Average of remaining numbers = 1410/58 = 24.31
