[Bank of Maharashtra(PO), 2008]


  • Explanation

    Given,

    Total sum of 5 numbers =5×306.4

       =1532

    Total sum of first two numbers =2×431

          =862

    Total sum of last two numbers =2×214.5

          =429

    ∴ Third number = 1532-(862+429)

    =241

    Hence, Option E is correct.
