    Question

    The sum of five consecutive even numbers is 2720. The sum of the third and fifth numbers is:

    A.

    1392

    B.

    1292

    C.

    1192

    D.

    1092

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    The sum of five consecutive even numbers is 2720.

    Solution: 

    Let the five consecutive even numbers be (x - 4), (x - 2),  x, (x + 2),  (x + 4)

    Now, 

    (x - 4) + (x - 2) + x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2720

    5x = 2720

    x = 27205\frac{2720}{5}​ = 544

    The third number, x = 544

    The fifth number, x + 4 = 548

    Their sum = 544 + 548 = 1092
