Wipro Company Numerical Ability Averages

Out of four numbers, the average of first three is 16 and that of the last three is 15. If the last number is 18, the first number is :

a. 20
b. 21
c. 23
d. 25

Read Solution (Total 1)

Le the four nos be a,b,c & d
We know,
a+b+c/3=16
b+c+d/3=15

Total sum is
a+b+c=48 --------eq1
b+c+d=45 --------eq2

Given last no i.e (d) =18
Solving eq(2) we get
b+c=27--------eq(3)
substitue eq(3) in eq(1)
We get a=21
