    A)  4                                

    B)  92                  

    C)  100    

    D)         8   

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the excluded number be x. Sum of 5 numbers \[=20\times 5=100\] After excluding x, Sum of 4 numbers \[=4\times 23=92.\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=100-92\text{ }\Rightarrow \text{ }x=8\]
