Answer:
CORRECT OPTION IS A) 89
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is first odd number
Then, x , x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8, ........... x + 2 × (41 - 1)
e.g., 41 consecutive odd numbers are : x , x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, ........... x + 80
now, sum of 41 consecutive odd numbers = (x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + ..... + x + 80)
= 41x + (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + ..... + 80)
= 41x + 40/2(2 + 80)
= 41x + 20 × 82
= 41x + 1640
Now, average of 41 consecutive odd numbers = sum of observations/total number of observations
49 = (41x + 1640)/41
49 = x + 40
x = 9
Hence, largest odd number = x + 80 = 89
