    Question

    Let five odd consecutive natural numbers are P,Q,R,S and T . What is their average ?

    A.

    15\frac15​(PQRST)

    B.

    (P+Q+R+S+T)

    C.

    (P+4)

    D.

    None of the above

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Five consecutive odd natural numbers are P, Q, R, S, T.
    Formula Used:
    Average of an odd number of consecutive terms in an Arithmetic Progression (AP) is the middle term.
    Solution:
    Since P, Q, R, S, and T are consecutive odd numbers, they form an AP with a common difference of 2.
    Thus, Q = P + 2, R = P + 4, S = P + 6, and T = P + 8.
    The average of these 5 terms is exactly the middle term, which is R.
    Substitute the relationship of R in terms of P.
    Average = R = P + 4.
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
