- 152/3
- 181/2
- 211/3
- 161/2
Correct Option: A
According to the question,
a + b + c = 11 x 3 = 33 ......(i)
c + d + e = 17 x 3 = 51 ...........(ii)
e + f = 22 x 2 = 44 ........... (iii)
e + c = 17 x 2 = 34 ..........(iv)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iv), we get
34 + d = 51
or d = 17 ....(v)
Now, by adding Eqs. (i), (iii) and (v), we get
a + b + c + d + e + f = 33 + 44 + 17 = 94
∴ Average of a, b, c, d, e and f = 94/6
= 47 / 3
= 152/3
