Q.If the average of \( (p + q) \) numbers is \( x \), and the average of \( p \) of those numbers is \( y \), then the average of the remaining \( q \) numbers will be _____ .

If the average of \( (p + q) \) numbers is \( x \), and the average of \( p \) of those numbers is \( y \), then the average of the remaining \( q \) numbers will be \(\frac{px + qx - py}{q}\).
- Total of \( (p + q) \) numbers = \( (p + q)x \) - Total of \( p \) numbers = \( py \) - So, total of remaining \( q \) numbers = \( (p + q)x - py \) - Therefore, the average of the remaining \( q \) numbers = \[ \frac{(p + q)x - py}{q} = \frac{px + qx - py}{q} \]
