The average of 5 quantities is The average of 3 of them is What is the average of the remaining two numbers?

A 6.5

B 4

C 3

D 3.5

Correct Answer: Option C

The average of 5 quantities is 6. Therefore, the sum of the 5 quantities is 5 * 6 = 30.

The average of three of these 5 quantities is 8. Therefore, the sum of these three quantities = 3 * 8 = 24

The sum of the remaining two quantities = 30 - 24 = 6. Average of these two quantities = 6 / 2 = 3
