Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60.

Average of x and y = 30

⇒ x+y2x + y\over2 = 30

⇒ x + y = 60

Average of x, y, z = 40

⇒ x+y+z3x + y + z\over3 = 40

⇒ x + y + z = 120

⇒ 60 + z = 120

⇒ z = 60

Now, average of x, y, 2z:

⇒ x+y+2z3x + y + 2z\over3 = 60+120360 + 120\over3 = 1803180\over3 = 60
