    A 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of 6 numbers = 6 × 40 = 240 New average after adding 2 numbers = 40 × 1.2 = 48 Total sum of 8 numbers = 8 × 48 = 384 Sum of new 2 numbers = 384 - 240 = 144 Average of 2 new numbers = 144 ÷ 2 = 72 So, value of x = 72
