      B 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 630 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sum of all 's' numbers = 50s
      ATQ:
      (50s + 120) / (s + 1) = 50.4
      Multiplying both sides by (s + 1):
      50s + 120 = 50.4(s + 1)
      50s + 120 = 50.4s + 50.4
      120 - 50.4 = 50.4s - 50s
      69.6 = 0.4s
      s = 174
      4 X (s - 20):
      4 X (174 - 20) = 4 X 154 = 616
