List M = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 - List M is an ordered set with odd number of consecutive multiples of 10. So mean = median = 30

I. 10, 20, 30, 35, 50 - Same as list M except for one element which is 5 less than corresponding element in list M - Average will be less than list M

II. 10, 22, 30, 38, 50 - Same as list M except 2 more in second element and 2 less in fourth element - Sum will remain unchanged and so average is same as list M

III. 0, 0, 0, 0, 150 - Average is 150/5 = 30 - Same as list M

Only II and III

I. 10, 20, 30, 35, 50
II. 10, 22, 30, 38, 50

D. II and III only
E. I, II, and III

Given: List M consists of the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. Average = 30
Question: Which of the following lists of numbers have an average (arithmetic mean) that is equal to the average of the numbers in list M?

I. 10, 20, 30, 35, 50
$$Average=\frac{10+20+30+35+50}{5}$$ = 29
II. 10, 22, 30, 38, 50
$$Average = \frac{10+22+30+38+50}{5}$$ = 30
III. 0, 0, 0, 0, 150
Average = $$\frac{150}{3}$$ = 30

IMO D

The thing to notice here is that this is an evenly spaced set and hence median shall be equal to mean. Clearly median=mean=30

For 2- it is the same as original set, take 2 from 22 and give it to 38.
For 3- 150/5- 30

Both 2 and 3 match
