The first question is worth x, the 2nd worth x + 4, the 3rd worth x + 2(4) = x + 8, ..., the 10th is worth x + 9(4) = x + 36.

Since we have a set of evenly-spaced numbers, the average is (x + x + 36)/2 = (2x + 36)/2 = x + 18.

Since sum = average * quantity we have:

360 = (x + 18) * 10

36 = x + 18

18 = x

The first question is worth x = 18 points. So the third question is worth x + 8 = 18 + 8 = 26 points.

Answer: C
