Q)

The sum of five consecutive odd numbers is 575. What is the sum of the next set of the consecutive odd numbers?

[NABARD (PO), 2009]


  • Explanation

    Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x, x-2, x-4, x+2 and x+4

    And,

    ⇒ x+x+2+x-2+x+4+x-4=575

    ⇒ 5x=575

    ⇒ x=115

    So, from this, five odd numbers are 111, 113, 115, 117, 119.

    By this, we cannot determine the next set of odd numbers.

    Hence Option D is correct.
