  • The sum of five numbers = 5*213=1065 The sum of first two numbers = 2*233.5=467.0 The sum of the last two numbers=271*2=542 Third number = 1065-(467+542) =56


  • strongAns is option (b) 56/strongbr /strongExplanation:/strongbr /The sum of the five numbers = 5 × 213 =1065br /The sum of the first two numbers = 2 × 233.5 = 467br /The sum of  the last two numbers = 542br /Then the sum of the four numbers = 467 + 542 =1009br /So, the third number will be = 1065 – 1009br /                                         = 56
