Question

3) The average of the four successive odd numbers is 34.
What would be the value of the smallest of these numbers?
A) 31
B) 33
C) 35
D) 37​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first odd no. be x

So the next three successive odd no. will be x+2, x+4 and x+6.

A.T.Q:-

(x+x+2+x+4+x+6)/4 = 34

4x+12 = 34×4

4x+12 = 136

4x = 136-12

4x = 124

x = 124/4

x = 31

So,

the numbers are:-

● x = 31

● x+2 = 31+2

= 33

● x+4 = 31+4

= 35

● x+6 = 31+6

= 37
