CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The number is exactly halfway between 36 and 86.

  2. Number = 36+862=61\frac{36 + 86}{2} = 61. Check: 61−36=25=86−6161 - 36 = 25 = 86 - 61.

Worth noting

50 is the gap between 36 and 86, and 25 is half that gap. Add the half-gap to 36 to land on the number.
