Correct Answer: 50


Solution : According to the question,
$A = \frac{1}{6}C$
$B = 2A=\frac{C}{3}$
Average of $n$ observations $=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{n}$
Average $=\frac{A+B+C}{3} = \frac{\frac{C}{6} +\frac{C}{3} +C}{3}$
$⇒ 30 = \frac{\frac{9C}{6}}{3}$
$⇒ 30 = \frac{C}{2}$
$\therefore C = 60$
Also,
⇒ $A = \frac{1}{6}C  = \frac{1}{6}× 60 = 10$
$\therefore$ C – A = 60 – 10 = 50
Hence, the correct answer is 50.
