Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see let the six numbers be a,b,c,d,e,f

Therefore a+b+c+d+e+f=16

Now b=16-a-c-d-e-f.-------(1)

Therefore if a is removed

Then b+c+d+e+f=17

Therefore 16-a-c-d-e-f+b+c+d+e+f=17.----[from (1)]

Therefore 16-a=17

Therefore a = -1

Therefore the removed number = a = -1
