D 19 if -19 was 1 number and the rest of the numbers were 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + -19 = 0 0/20 = 0

The Exact Explanation: Average of 20 numbers = 0. Sum of 20 numbers (0 x 20) = 0. It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a then 20th number is (-a)

ans is 19 take any 19 numbers and add them. let the sum of those numbers be x. let the 20th number be -x. so when you find the AVG of 20 Numbers it will be 0
