Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 18

Given:

Average of first four numbers = 30

Average of last four numbers = 28

Fifth number = 10

Formula used:

Average = (sum of all observation)/Number of observation

Calculation:

Sum of first 4 numbers(I, II, III and IV) = 30 × 4

⇒ 120

Sum of last 4 numbers (II, III, IV and V) = 28 × 4

⇒ (II + III + IV + 10) = 112

⇒ (II + III + IV) = 102

⇒ (I + II + III + IV) = 120

⇒ I + 102 = 120

⇒ I = 120 - 102

⇒ I = 18

∴ First number is 18.
