Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

as the 1st five men are to be subscribed for 15 rupees there avarage is (15+15+15+15+15)/5 =15 so five less than that is 10 so the sixth ma will pay 10 rupees

Answer 2

Answer: The sixth man has Rs. 9 for subscription.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of men = 5

Amount of subscribe = Rs. 15 each

So, total amount 5 men will receive is given by

$5\times 15=Rs.\ 75$

Let the amount of subscribe sixth men will get is

$\dfrac{\sum x}{6}-5$

So, it becomes

$\dfrac{75+x_6}{6}=Mean\\\\\dfrac{75+\frac{\sum x}{6}-5}{6}=\dfrac{\sum x}{6}\\\\70+\dfrac{\sum x}{6}=\sum x\\\\70=\sum x-\dfrac{\sum x}{6}\\\\70=5\dfrac{\sum x}{6}\\\\\dfrac{70\times 6}{5}=\sum x\\\\\sum x=84$

So, the sixth man's amount would be

$\dfrac{84}{6}-5=14-5=9$

Hence, the sixth man has Rs. 9 for subscription.
