A
16
💡 Explanation:
If the average of 7 numbers is 16, then the sum of numbers must be, 112. If average of first 3 numbers is 14, then the sum of numbers must be 42. And if the average of the next 3 numbers is 18, the sum of numbers must be 54. Now, 112 - 42 - 54 = 16. Hence, the last number is 16.
