      B 700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 690 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sum of all 's' numbers = 60s
      ATQ:
      (60s + 150) / (s + 1) = 60.5
      Multiplying both sides by (s + 1):
      60s + 150 = 60.5(s + 1)
      60s + 150 = 60.5s + 60.5
      150 - 60.5 = 60.5s - 60s
      89.5 = 0.5s
      s = 179
      4 X (s - 10):
      4 X (179 - 10) = 4 X 169 = 676
