There are five baskets- A, B, C, D and E. Each basket has rings in it and the average number of rings in all five baskets is 42. If basket D is removed, the average number of rings in the remaining baskets is 38. How many rings are there in basket D?
A.38
B.58✓ Correct
C.64
D.42
Explanation
Total rings in 5 baskets = 42×5 = 210. Total in 4 baskets (without D) = 38×4 = 152. Rings in D = 210−152 = 58.
