    A 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    m + n = 2 × 22
    Or, m + n = 44 -------- (I)
    n + o = 2 × 13
    Or, n + o = 26 -------- (II)
    m + o = 2 × 25
    Or, m + o = 50 -------- (III)
    On adding equations I, II and III,
    We get, m + n + n + o + m + o = 44 + 26 + 50
    Or, 2 × (m + n + o) = 120
    Or, m + n + o = 60
    Therefore, required average = (60 / 3) = 20
