A. 12.6
B. 14
C. 15
D. 13.8
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
According to the question,Average of 25 observations = 13
Sum of 25 observations = 13 × 25 = 325
One observation entered wrongly 48 instead of 73.
∴ Difference = 73 - 48 = 25 (less)
∴ Actual sum of 25 observation = 325 + 25 = 350
Actual average = $$\frac{350}{25}$$ = 14
