Answer

Given numbers 14, 12, 17, 18, 16 and p

Maximum Value = 18

Minimum value = 12

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value = 18 - 12 = 6 (excluding p)

But the range given is 20, So p must be either maximum value or minimum value

If p is the maximum value, then

p - 12 = 20

P = 32

If p is the minimum value, then

18 - p = 20

p = -2

Since p > 0

∴ p = 32

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
