Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
It is given that the average of the 30 integers = 5
Sum of the 30 integers = 30*5=150
There are exactly 20 integers whose value is less than 5.
To maximise the average of the 20 integers, we have to assign minimum value to each of the remaining 10 integers
So the sum of 10 integers = 10*6=60
The sum of the 20 integers = 150-60= 90
Average of 20 integers = = 4.5
