The average amount with a group of seven numbers is Rs. 20. If the newly joined member has Rs. 50 with him, what was the average amount with the group before his joining the group?

A. Rs. 25
B. Rs. 18
C. Rs. 15
D. Rs. 22
Explanation:
Total members in the group = 7
Average amount = Rs. 20
Total amount with them = 7 * 20 = Rs. 140
One number has Rs. 50. So, the amount with remaining 6 people = 140 – 50 = Rs. 90
The average amount with them = 90/6 = Rs. 15
