Answer 2

Answer:

Mean of 6 numbers = 32

Sum of these numbers = 32 × 6 = 192

Mean of 4 numbers = 32 - 2 = 30

Sum of these 4 numbers = 30 × 4 = 120

Excluded numbers = ( Sum of 6 given numbers ) - ( Sum of the 4 numbers )

Excluded numbers = 72

Hence, your options are wrong. So, the correct answer is 72 ✓✓
