Set \(X\) of has an average of \(61\). If the largest element is 7 greater than 6 times the smallest element, how many values out of \({2,3,5,8,9,11,53,102,123,178,210,267,283,311,376,383,399,401}\) can be a part of Set \(X\)?

I think this Q has already been discussed earlier. I hope you have searched for it before posting. Average is 61..find the max and min values possible, you will get the answer

Answer (C) is right.
2,3,5,8, can not be a part of X. Even if one of them is a min element of X then the max element is not greater 61 and the average of X cannot be 61. 376,383,399,401 can not be a part of X. Even if one of them is a max element of X then the min element is not less than 61 and the average of X cannot be 61.

Given average \(61\) and \(max\) = \(min * 6 + 7\), so set must have alteast two different integers (meaning it is not a set of all same integers)
in a set of different integers, min value can't be equal to average, so \(min\) < \(61\) => \(max\) < \(61 * 6 + 7\), so \(max\) < \(373\) similarly, max value can't be equal to average, so \(max\) > \(61\) => \(61\) < \(max\) < \(373\)
now we found, \(max\) > \(61\)=> \(min * 6 + 7\) > \(61\) => \(min\) > \(9\).
all the elements in the set must be between \(9 < S < 373\), only 9 integers of the given falls within the range => Answer (C)
