Aliter : Using Rule 26,
The correct average will be = m +${\text"(a-b)"}/ \text"n"$.
Here, n = 20, m = 47
a = 62, b = 26
Correct Average = m + ${\text"(a - b)"}/\text"n"$
= 47 + ${(62 – 26)}/20$
= 47+$36/20$
= 47 + 1.8 = 48.8

a) 19.5
b) 21.5

If average of n numbers is m later on it was found that a number 'a’ was misread as 'b’.
The correct average will be = m +${\text"(a-b)"}/ \text"n"$.
Here, n = 7, m = 18
a = 31, b = 17
New Average = m + ${\text"(a - b)"}/\text"n"$
= 18 +${(31 – 17)}/7$
= 18 +$14/7$
= 18 + 2 = 20

a) 57.82
b) 58.18
c) 57.28
d) 58.81
Answer »Answer: (b)
Difference = 86 – 68 = 18
∴ Actual average = 58 + $18/100$ = 58.18
Aliter : Using Rule 26,
The correct average will be = m +${\text"(a-b)"}/ \text"n"$.
Here, n = 100, m = 58
a = 86, b = 68
Correct Average = m + ${\text"(a - b)"}/\text"n"$
= 58 +${(86 -68)}/100$
= 58 + $18/100$
= 58 + 0.18 = 58.18
