Correct Answer: 5


Solution : Given:
The average of two numbers = 8
Average of three numbers = 3
According to the question,
Sum of two numbers = 2 × 8 = 16
Sum of three numbers = 3 × 3 = 9
Sum of five numbers = 16 + 9 = 25
Average value = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{number of values}}$
Average of five number = $\frac{\text{25}}{\text{5}}$
Hence, the answer is 5.
