Average of 9 figures is 301 . The average of first 5 figures is 163 and average of last 5 figures is 430 find the value of 5th figure.
-------------
Label them A, B, C ... I
---
Sum of the 1st 5 = 5*163 = 815
A+B+C+D+E = 815
Sum of the last 5 = 5*430 = 2150
E+F+G+H+I = 2150
-----
Sum of the 9 figures = 9*301 = 2709
---
A+B+C+D+E + E+F+G+H+I = 815+2150 = 2965
---
Figure E = 2965 - 2709 = 256
