    A.

    30

    B.

    32

    C.

    20

    D.

    10

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Mean of 6 numbers = 18
    Mean of 7 numbers (after including one more number) = 20
    Formula Used:
    Mean = Sum of numbersNumber of terms\frac{\text{Sum of numbers}}{\text{Number of terms}}
    Solution:
    Sum of 6 numbers =Mean×Number of terms=18×6=108 \text{Mean} \times \text{Number of terms} = 18 \times 6 = 108
    Sum of 7 numbers = 20×7=14020 \times 7 = 140
    Included number = Sum of 7 numbers - Sum of 6 numbers = 140 - 108 = 32
