    Solution

    ATQ, Let the two equal numbers be тАШbтАЩ each Therefore, least number = (b тАУ 50) 4th number = 2(b тАУ 50) According to the question, 2(b тАУ 50) + b тАУ 50 + b + b = 4 ├Ч 150 Or, 5b тАУ 150 = 600 Or, b = 750/5 = 150 Therefore, 4 numbers are 150, 150, 100, and 200 Therefore, required average = (200 + 100)/2 = 150
