The average of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 50. What is the greatest number?
a)60
b)53
c)73
d)54
e)62

• If nos are x, x+2, x+4 and x+6 , then
  x+x+2+x+4+x+6 = 4x+12 = 50*4=200
  4x= 188
  x= 47
  
  greatest no is x+6 = 47+6=53 ..... option b)

• First num=x
  then 2nd=x+2, 3rd =x+4, 4th=x+6
  (x+x+2+x+4+x+6)/4=50
  4x+12=200
  x=188/4
  x=47
  x+2=49
  x+4=51
  x+6=53

• Let the 4 consecutive odd numbers be p, p+1, p+3, p+5 ;
  From data , We given avg =50.;
  Therefore, (p+p+1+p+3+p+5)/4=50
  》》 (4p + 9)=200
  》》 ( 4p) =200-9
  》》 p = 191/4
  Largest number is p+5 》》 (191/4) +5 =52.75. ( Nearer value is 53)
  Option b) 53.

• let 4 consecutive odd number be (2x+1), (2x+3), (2x+5), (2x+7)
  so, according to question:-
  (2x+1) + (2x+3) + (2x+5) + (2x+7) / 4=50 _________________(1)
  on solving equation (1) ,we get
  x=23
  so the largest number will be:-
  2x+7=2*23+7=53

• (x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6))/4=50
  4x+12=200
  x+3=50
  x=47
  therefore, greatest number is 53
