    A 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 165 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 156 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let 10th number is ‘x’ So, 12th number = 1.8 × x + 34.3 And, 11th number = x + 119.5 So, x + 1.8x + 34.3 + x + 119.5 = 18 × 75 – 9 × 62.5 – 6 × 82.5 = 292.5 Or, 3.8x = 138.7 Or, x = 36.5 So, 11th number = 36.5 + 119.5 = 156
