(E) I, II, and III.
We could have the following arrangement for the numbers:
2,3,3,6,x,y,20, in ascending order. The mean is formed as follows:
.
If the average is 7, then x+y = 15, which is very much possible for two numbers x and y between 6 and 20.(Take 7 and 8, e.g.) If the average is 8.5, then x+y = 25.5, which again is possible for two numbers between 6 and 20 (take 10 and 15.5, e.g.) If the average is 10, then x+y = 36, which again is possible for two numbers between 6 and 20 (take 17 and 19, e.g.)
