A68
B58
C73
D63

Correct Answer: [68]

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Steps:

  1. The average of 11 numbers is 28. Therefore, the total sum of all 11 numbers is:

    \( 11 \times 28 = 308 \)
  2. The average of the first 5 numbers is 23. Therefore, the total sum of the first 5 numbers is:

    \( 5 \times 23 = 115 \)
  3. The average of the next 5 numbers is 25. Therefore, the total sum of the next 5 numbers is:

    \( 5 \times 25 = 125 \)
  4. Add the sums of the first 5 and next 5 numbers:

    \( 115 + 125 = 240 \)
  5. Subtract this sum from the total sum of all 11 numbers to find the 11th number:

    \(308 - 240 = 68 \)

Final Answer: \(\boxed{68}\)
