    B 2700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of all 's' numbers = 45s
    ATQ:
    (45s + 180) / (s + 1) = 45.2
    Multiplying both sides by (s + 1):
    45s + 180 = 45.2(s + 1)
    45s + 180 = 45.2s + 45.2
    180 - 45.2 = 45.2s - 45s
    134.8 = 0.2s
    s = 674
    4 X (s - 18):
    4 X (674 - 18) = 4 X 656 = 2624
