Abstract: In this paper, we establish an extension of Funk's section theorem. Our result has the following corollary: If $ K$ is a star body in $ \mathbb{R}^n$ whose central $ i$-slices have the same volume (with appropriate dimension) as the central $ i$-slices of a centered body $ M$, then the dual quermassintegrals satisfy $ \widetilde{W}_j(M)\leq \widetilde{W}_j(K)$, for any $ 0\leq j<n-i$, with equality if and only if $ K=M$. The case that $ K$ is a centered body implies Funk's section theorem.
