Options:
  • A
    $\frac{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2+n_3 T_3}{n_1+n_2+n_3}$
  • B
    $\frac{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2^2+n_3 T_3^2}{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2+n_3 T_3}$
  • C
    $\frac{n_1^2 T_1^2+n_2^2 T_2^2+n_3^2 T_3^2}{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2+n_3 T_3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\left(T_1+T_2+T_3\right)}{3}$

The correct answer is:
$\frac{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2+n_3 T_3}{n_1+n_2+n_3}$
Data $\Rightarrow n, k, t_1+n_2 k T_2+n_3 k T_3=\left(n_1+n_2+n_3\right) k T$
$\therefore T=\frac{n_1 T_1+n_2 T_2+n_3 T_3}{n_1+n_2+n_3}$
