The average of 5 consecutive numbers is 19. Find the largest of these numbers.

A.

23

B.

29

C.

21

D.

17

Correct option is C

Given:
Average of 5 consecutive numbers = 19
Solution:
Average=(x2)+(x1)+x+(x+1)+(x+2)5\text{Average}=\frac{(x-2)+ (x-1)+ x +(x+1)+( x+2)}{5}​​

19 = 5x5\frac{5x}{5}​​

x = 19
 Largest number = x + 2 = 19 + 2 = 21
