The average of 5 consecutive odd natural numbers is 47. Previous 5 consecutive odd natural numbers to these 5 odd natural numbers are also included. What will be the average of newly added numbers?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Average of 5 consecutive odd numbers = 47
According to the formula:
Average of consecutive numbers = Middle number
The 5 consecutive odd numbers = 43, 45, 47, 49, 51
The 5 consecutive odd numbers preceding these = 33, 35, 37, 39, 41
Average of the newly added numbers = (33 + 35 + 37 + 39 + 41) / 5 = 37
