Hi guys,

suppose that we have list of numbers

83+115+156 = 354

mean = 354/3 = 118

how can we get reverse of that .

Can recover the above three numbers (83,115,156) from 118 by doing some mathematical tricks ( subtraction/ addition) etc.

No, because you've destroyed some of the information. The mean of (83, 115, 156) is the same as the mean of (118, 118, 118), which is the same as the mean of (0, 118, 236)...
