Given:

Average of 30 numbers = 12

Average of the first 20 numbers = 11

Average of the next 9 numbers = 10

Formula Used:

Total sum = Average × Number of terms

Calculation:

Sum of all 30 numbers = 12 × 30

⇒ Sum of all 30 numbers = 360

Sum of the first 20 numbers = 11 × 20

⇒ Sum of the first 20 numbers = 220

Sum of the next 9 numbers = 10 × 9

⇒ Sum of the next 9 numbers = 90

Sum of the last number = Total sum - (Sum of the first 20 numbers + Sum of the next 9 numbers)

⇒ Sum of the last number = 360 - (220 + 90)

⇒ Sum of the last number = 360 - 310

⇒ Sum of the last number = 50

The last number is 50.
