Hello student, please find the soln\

average of eight different natural numbers is 12
=> sum of eight different natural numbers is 12*8 = 96
smallest number = 8
so other numbers should be minimum 8
therefore take 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 =>sum= 77
Therefore the larsgest number possible is 96-77= 19

Thanks,
