- The average of five terms is given as 40.

- The first four terms are 50, 52, 35, and 46.

- First, calculate the total sum required for five terms:

- Total sum = Average × Number of terms = 40 × 5 = 200.

- Sum of the first four terms:

- 50 + 52 + 35 + 46 = 183.

- Find the fifth term by subtracting the sum of the first four terms from the total sum:

- Fifth term = Total sum - Sum of the first four terms = 200 - 183 = 17.

- The correct option for the fifth term is Option 3: 17.
