Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Let the four number be a, b, c and d. Given, $ \frac{a+b+c}{3}=16 $ i.e. $ a+b+c=48 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{b+c+d}{3}=15 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ b+c+d=45 $
But last number, d = 20
$ b+c+20=45 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ b+c=25 $
$ \therefore $ $ a=48-25 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ a=23 $
So, first number is 23.
