Correct Answer: 62.5


Solution : Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}$
⇒ $\frac{P1 + P2 + P3}{3}$  = 50
⇒ P1 + P2 + P3 = 150
Since P1 is half of the average, P1 = 25
⇒ 25 + P2 + P3 = 150
⇒ P2 + P3 = 125
Now, the average of P2 and P3 = $\frac{P2 + P3}{2}$ = $\frac{125}{2}$ = 62.5
Hence, the correct answer is 62.5.
