    There are three numbers 'a', 'b' and 'c' such that

    average of 'a' and 'b' is 14, average of 'b' and 'c' is 16 and average of 'a' and 'c' is 30. Find the average of 'a', 'b' and 'c'.
    A 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    a + b = 2 X 14 Or, a + b = 28 -------- (I) b + c = 2 X 16 Or, b + c = 32 -------- (II) a + c = 2 X 30 Or, a + c = 60 -------- (III) On adding equations I, II and III, We get, a + b + b + c + a + c = 28 + 32 + 60 Or, 2 X (a + b + c) = 120 Or, a + b + c = 60 Therefore, required average = (60/3) = 20
