    Question

    The average of five even numbers is 60. If we replace

    two of these even numbers, 84 and 92, with a single even number X, the new average decreases by 4. What is the value of X?
    A 94 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 98 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of 5 even numbers = 5 x 60 = 300 Sum of after 2 replacing even numbers by X = 300 - (84 + 92) + X = 300 - 176 + X Now Sum of 4 even numbers = (60 - 4) x 4 = 224 According the question, we get 300 – 176 + X = 224 X = 224 – 300 + 176 X = 100
