A set has 16 numbers. If a number is three times the average of the other 15 numbers, the number is what fraction of the sum of the total numbers?
1/6
1/3
1/4
1/5
3/8

[spoiler]i got A as the answer i.e. 1/6 but OA given is C i.e. 1/4,please confirm ur answer..[/spoiler]

I also got 1/6.

If the average is x, the sum for the first 15 numbers is 15x

Total for the 16th number is 3x

15x + 3x = 18x

3x/18x = 1/6

Are we missing something?
