Given:

Average of v numbers = w2

Average of w numbers = v2

Formula used:

Total average = (Total sum of v numbers + Total sum of w numbers) / (v + w)

Calculation:

Total sum of v numbers = v × w2

Total sum of w numbers = w × v2

⇒ Total average = (v × w2 + w × v2) / (v + w)

⇒ Total average = vw(v + w) / (v + w)

⇒ Total average = vw

∴ The correct answer is vw.
