Given:

The average of 10 results = 50

The average of first five results = 49

The average of the last five results = 65

Formula used:

Average = Sum of results / Number of results

Calculation:

The sum of the 10 results = = 50 × 10 = 500

The sum of the first five results = 49 × 5 = 245

The sum of the last five results = 65 × 5 = 325

Fifth result = Sum of the first five + Sum of the last five - Sum of all 10

⇒ 245 + 325 - 500 = 70

∴ Option (4) is the correct answer.
