Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 253.

Average = sum of the numbers/Total numbers

= (253 + 245 + 325 + 120 + 115 + 2K)/5 =  212

= 1058 + 2K = 1060

K = 1

The average of the numbers 353 + 354 + 225 + 220 + and 110 + 3K = (353 + 354 + 225 + 220 + 113)/5

= 1265/5 = 253
