The average of 11 numbers is 36. Out of these 11 numbers, the average of 9 numbers is 34. If the ratio of remaining two numbers is 2 : 3, find out the smaller number.
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Sum of 11 numbers = 36 x 11 = 396
Sum of 9 numbers = 34 x 9 = 306
Sum of remaining two numbers =396 - 306 = 90
∴ The smaller number = (2 x 90)/(2 + 3) = 180/5 = 36
