Correct option is C
Given:
Average of five numbers = 87.8
Average of first two numbers = 81.5
Average of last two numbers = 93.5
Formula Used:
Sum = Average × Number of terms
Solution:
Sum of all five numbers = 87.8 × 5 = 439
Sum of first two numbers = 81.5 × 2 = 163
Sum of last two numbers = 93.5 × 2 = 187
Sum of all five = (first two) + (third) + (last two)
439 = 163 + x + 187
x = 439 − 163 − 187 = 89
So, the third number is 89.
Thus, the correct option is (c) 89
