Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Given: The average of D1 and D2 is 40.
The sum of D1 and D2 = 40 × 2 = 80 ---------------(1)
The average of D2 and D3 is 45.
The sum of D2 and D3 = 45 × 2 = 90 ----------------(2)
The average of D1 and D3 is 55.
The sum of D1 and D3 = 55 × 2 = 110 ------------(3)
Adding the equation (1), (2) and (3), we get,
D1 + D2 + D2 + D3 + D1 + D3 = 80 + 90 + 110
⇒ 2 (D1 + D2 + D3) = 280
⇒ D1 + D2 + D= 140
⇒ 80 + D= 140
$\therefore$ D3 = 60
Hence, the correct answer is 60.
