Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. C) 3
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.
