The mean of 5 numbers is 24. If four numbers are 18, 22, 26 and 30, then the fifth number is:
Show Hint
Notice a pattern? The given numbers (18, 22, 26, 30) are in an Arithmetic Progression with a common difference of 4. Since they are symmetric around 24, the missing middle value to keep the mean at 24 must be 24 itself!
