      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the sum of the last three numbers be 'n'.

      So, (sum of the first six numbers) ÷ 6 = 4 × (n/3)

      Or, sum of the first six numbers = 8n

      So, (n + 8n) ÷ 9 = 24

      Or, 9n = 216

      Or, n = 24
