Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 14.54.

The prime numbers less than 32 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31

Sum = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 = 160

There are 11 prime numbers less than 32.

Average = Sum of primes​/Number of primes = 160/11 = 14.54
