The average marks of a student in 10 papers are 80. If the highest and the lowest scores are not considered, the average is 81. If his highest score is 92, find the lowest.
Explanation:
Total marks scored by the student in 10 papers = (80 × 10) = 800. If we exclude the papers in which he scored the highest and the lowest marks, then the total marks scored by him in remaining 8 papers = (81 × 8) = 648. Hence, his total in these two papers in which he scored the highest and the lowest marks = (800 – 648) = 152. Since his highest score is 92, his lowest score is (152 – 92) = 60.
