Correct Answer: 168


Solution : Given:
The average of 8 numbers = 21
If the average of x numbers is y and each number is multiplied by z, then the new average will be (y × z).
According to the question,
Required new average = Old average × 8
$\therefore$ New average = 21 × 8 = 168
Hence, the correct answer is 168.
