B Correct answer
Explanation

Sum of 8 = 8*14 = 112. Sum of 6 = 6*16 = 96. Sum of remaining 2 = 112 - 96 = 16. Average = 16/2 = 8.

AI explanation

Using the average sum formula, the total sum of all eight numbers is 8 x 14 = 112. The sum of the six numbers is 6 x 16 = 96. The sum of the remaining two numbers is 112 - 96 = 16. Their average is 16 / 2 = 8.
