Question

Answer

Given: The average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24.

To find: The largest number.

Let's assume the first odd number as x.

As per the given condition, the average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24.

So, (x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6))/4 = 24

Simplifying the above expression, we get:

4x + 12 = 96

4x = 84

x = 21

Therefore, the first odd number is 21.

The four consecutive odd numbers are 21, 23, 25, and 27.

Hence, the largest number is 27.

Therefore, the correct option is (b) 27.

Answer

Let the smallest odd no be X.So, X+X+2+X+4+X+6/4=24 .. So by solving X=21.The largest no is X+6= 21+6=27 ..

Answer

Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then

=>x+3=24=>x=21
So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27

So, the correct option is 'B'

Answer

Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then

=>x+3=24=>x=21
So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27

So, the correct option is 'B'
