===============================
Average rainfall for three months = ( sum of rainfall happen in 1st , 2nd and 3rd month) / ( total number of months )
Rainfall for first two months = 15cm and 16cm
Sum of rainfall for first two months = 15 cm + 16 cm
Sum of rainfall for first two months = 31 cm
Given,Average rainfall for three months = 14 cm.
Applying the formula given above :-
⇒ 14 cm = ( 31 cm + rainfall for 3rd month ) / ( 3 )
⇒ 14 cm x 3 = ( 31 cm + rainfall for 3rd month )
⇒ 42 cm = 31 cm + rainfall for 3rd month
⇒ 42 cm - 31 cm = rainfall for 3rd month
⇒ 11 cm = rainfall for 3rd month
Therefore, rainfall for third month is 11 cm.
