  1. Question 1

    Q1. The average of 10 numbers is 15. If one number is excluded, the average becomes 14. What is the excluded number?

    • A) 20
    • B) 24
    • C) 25
    • D) 30

    Answer: 24

    Explanation: The sum of the 10 numbers is 10 * 15 = 150. After excluding one number, the sum of the remaining 9 numbers is 9 * 14 = 126. So, the excluded number is 150 - 126 = 24.
