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.
