      of 'p' and 'q' is 12, average of 'q' and 'r' is 28 and average of 'p' and 'r' is 20. Find the average of 'p', 'q' and 'r'.
      A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      p + q = 2 × 12
      Or, p + q = 24 -------- (I)
      q + r = 2 × 28
      Or, q + r = 56 -------- (II)
      p + r = 2 × 20
      Or, p + r = 40 -------- (III)
      On adding equations I, II and III,
      We get, p + q + q + r + p + r = 24 + 56 + 40
      Or, 2 × (p + q + r) = 120
      Or, p + q + r = 60
      Therefore, required average = (60/3) = 20
