C Correct answer
Explanation

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

AI explanation

The total sum of all 8 numbers is 8 multiplied by 14, which equals 112. The sum of the 6 given numbers is 6 multiplied by 16, which equals 96. The sum of the remaining two numbers is the difference between these totals, so 112 minus 96 equals 16. The average of these two numbers is 16 divided by 2, which is 8.
