Let

x-------> the sum of the 4 numbers in the average 1

y-------> the sum of the 6 numbers in the average 2


we know that

x/4=20----------> x=20*4=80

y/6=74----------> y=6*74=444


so

The average of the 10 numbers is equal to

(x+y)/10=(444+80)/10----------> 52.4


therefore


the answer is

the average of the 10 numbers is 52.4
