This is an example of how ETS will try to get you to combine variables for a mean and then forget that each is a separate value. a+b+c = 19... ok... a+b+c+13 = 19+13. In taking the mean here DIVIDE BY 4. Many will accidentally divide by 2 and end up answering wrong.

Theory
➡ Average = Sum of all the Values / Total Number of Values
The average (arithmetic mean) of a, b, c, 5, and 6 is 6
Average = \(\frac{Sum}{5}\) = \(\frac{a + b + c + 5 + 6 }{5}\) = \(\frac{a + b + c + 11}{5}\) = 6 (given) a + b + c + 11 = 6*5 = 30 => a + b + c = 30 - 11 = 19
The average of a, b, c, and 13
Average = \(\frac{Sum}{4}\) = \(\frac{a + b + c + 13 }{4}\) = \(\frac{19 + 13}{4}\) = \(\frac{32}{4}\) = 8
So, Answer will be A. Hope it helps!
