We know that, Average = Sum of all quantities/number of quantities

Average of 7 numbers = 28

∴ sum of all numbers = 28 × 7 = 196

Average of first 3 numbers is 23.

Sum of first 3 numbers = 3 × 23 = 69

Average of last 3 numbers os 42.

Sum of last 3 numbers = 3 × 42 = 126

4th number = 196 – 69 – 126 = 1
