20, 26, 33

20, 27, 32

20, 26, 31

Correct Answer:

20, 26, 32

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 20, 26, 32 **

Given values: 16, 25, 19, 34, 43

Three-year moving averages:

1st average = $\frac{16+25+19}{3}=\frac{60}{3}=20$

2nd average = $\frac{25+19+34}{3}=\frac{78}{3}=26$

3rd average = $\frac{19+34+43}{3}=\frac{96}{3}=32$

Three-year moving averages: 20, 26, 32
