This is a classic problem that during your gmat exam makes you out of balance, nervous because you deal with a lot of information.

Ok take control of the question. (I have structured my answer step by step, like a process of thoughts)

First of all we have 15 homes so odd number.

Second this 15 is grouped in 3 blocks or groups whatever you want to say.

Now is the best part: one group is 170 of 4 this is important to take in account the other 5 (strees on this) 200

Now look at the answer choices : A is not possible. out

Now is the moment to attack the question. The best strategy here is a weighted average strategy.

considering the average is more or less in the middle, it follows that the group of 6 is what we are looking for and is between 170 and 200 or after 200. We have 170 200 and 6*x and the average is 200: in some place we have to put 6*x

Now in the average what value has a major "weight" No the group pf 4 with 170 ( value 680) but the 5 houses with 200 (value 1000).

So the average tends to the latter or is after, otherwise we do not have 200 like average. In this kind of problem the last value (in increasing order as we can see) is never the answer because put our value to close at the end point of our weighted average.

So the answer must be D

I hope my explanation is useful

Since the average price of 15 of the homes is $200, then the total price of these homes is 15*$200=$3,000.

The total price of 4 of the homes is 4*$170=$680;
The total price of 5 of the homes is 5*$200=$1,000;

Therefore the total price of the remaining 6 of the homes is $3,000-($680+$1,000)=$1,320. The average price per home is $1,320/6=$220.

Answer: D.

Hope it's clear.

IMO the answer has to be D.
5 houses are being sold for 200,000. 4 houses are being sold for $30,000 less, resulting in a loss of $120,000. To make the average selling price intact i.e. $200,000, the remaining 6 houses must be sold at such a profit that it compensates for the loss of 120,000. Hence 6x=120,000.
x=20,000.
The 6 houses are sold at $20,000 profit or at $220,000.
