    the total of their lowest and highest numbers?
    A 118 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 172 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 124 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 185 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Take the numbers as: (a - 3), (a - 2), (a - 1), a, (a + 1), (a + 2), (a + 3)

    Sum = (a - 3 + a - 2 + a - 1 + a + a + 1 + a + 2 + a + 3)

    Average = (7a / 7) = 59

    β‡’ a = 59

    Sum of smallest and biggest = a - 3 + a + 3 = 2a = 2 Γ— 59 = 118
