    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.
