product of A and D?
(a) 2107
(b) 2303
(c) 2115
(d) 2295
(e) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

3355

Explanation:

Let A=X, B=X+2, C=X+4, D=X+6, E=X+8

Given that their sum is 295, I.e

(X)+(X+2)+(X+4)+(X+6)+(X+8)= 295

5x+20=295

5x=295-20

5x=275

X=275/5

X=55

Now substitute "X" in A,B,C,D,E Then we will get

A=55, B=57 C= 59 D= 61 E= 63

then the product of A and D is (55×61) =3355
