      A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total sum of 11 numbers = 11 × 50 = 550 Sum of first 6 numbers = 6 × 48 = 288 Sum of last 6 numbers = 6 × 52 = 312 The 6th number is counted in both these sums. So: (First 6 sum) + (Last 6 sum) − (6th number) = Total sum 288 + 312 − x = 550 600 − x = 550 ⇒ x = 50 6th number = 50.
