    Given Here , Sum of six numbers = 6 × 3.95
    Sum of two numbers = 2 × 3.4
    Sum of other two numbers = 2 × 3.85
    Sum of remaining two numbers = 6 × 3.95 – 2 × 3.4 – 2 × 3.85
    Sum of remaining two numbers = 23.7 – 6.8 – 7.7 = 9.2

    Correct Option: A

    Largest 3–digit number formed by 0, 2 and 4 = 420
    Smallest number of three digits = 204

    ∴ Required average =
    420 + 204
    =
    624
    22

    Correct Option: A

    Largest 3–digit number formed by 0, 2 and 4 = 420
    Smallest number of three digits = 204

    ∴ Required average =
    420 + 204
    =
    624
    = 312

    Numbers in order
    ⇒ a, b and c
    According to question ,
    ∴ a + b = 2 × 2 = 4
    b + c = 2 × 3 = 6
    c + a = 2 × 4 = 8
    On adding,
    2 (a + b + c) = 4 + 6 + 8 = 18

    ⇒ a + b + c =

    According to question ,
    M + T + W + TH = 4 × 37 = 148°C ........ (i)
    TH + F + S + S = 4 × 41 = 164°C ........ (ii)
    M + T +....+ S + S = 7 × 39 = 273°C ........ (iii)
    ∴ The temperature of the fourth day = ( M + T + W + TH ) + ( TH + F + S + S ) - ( M + T +....+ S + S )

    Correct Option: C

    According to question ,
    M + T + W + TH = 4 × 37 = 148°C ........ (i)
    TH + F + S + S = 4 × 41 = 164°C ........ (ii)
    M + T +....+ S + S = 7 × 39 = 273°C ........ (iii)
    ∴ The temperature of the fourth day = ( M + T + W + TH ) + ( TH + F + S + S ) - ( M + T +....+ S + S )
    The temperature of the fourth day = 148 + 164 – 273 = 39°C

    According to question ,
    Sum of 8 numbers = 20 × 8 = 160

    Sum of the first two numbers =
    31
    × 2 = 31
    2

    Sum of next three numbers =
    64
    × 3 = 64
    3

    Sum of the remaining three numbers = 160 – (31 + 64)
    Sum of the remaining three numbers = 160 – 95 = 65
    Let 6th number = p
    ∴ 7th number = p + 4,
    8th number = p + 7
    ⇒ p + p + 4 + p + 7 = 65

    Correct Option: C

    3

    Sum of the remaining three numbers = 160 – (31 + 64)
    Sum of the remaining three numbers = 160 – 95 = 65
    Let 6th number = p
    ∴ 7th number = p + 4,
    8th number = p + 7
    ⇒ p + p + 4 + p + 7 = 65
    ⇒ 3p = 65 – 11
    ⇒ p =
    54
    = 18
    3

    ∴ Eighth number = p + 7 = 18 + 7 = 25
