Question

The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is found to be 95. The largest of thenumbers is:

A.

17

B.

21

C.

23

D.

19

Correct option is C

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be represented as:

[x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8]

Since their sum is given as 95, we can set up the equation:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 95

Simplifying,

5x + 20 = 95

Solving for ( x ):

5x = 75

x = 15

So the five consecutive odd numbers are: 15, 17, 19, 21, and 23. The largest number is 23, making the correct answer (C) 23.
