The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The perfect squares that end in 6 are: 

  • 42 = 16
  • 62 = 36
  • 142 = 196
  • 162 = 256
  • 242 = 576

These are the first five perfect squares ending in 6. Now, calculate their average:

Average = $\frac{16 + 36 + 196 + 256 + 576}{5}$Average = $\frac{1080}{5}$

Thus, the average is 216.

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 216
