Answer 1

let the no. be( x,x+2,x+4,x+6,x+8)/5=59 and solve it x= 57 which is answer

Answer 2

Let the first odd number be x
Since they are odd consecutive number , they differ by 2
Other numbers = x+2,x+4,x+6,x+8
Acc to ques. ,
(x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8)/5 = 59
(5x+20)/5=59
[5(x+4)] / 5 = 59
x+4 = 59 ➡x=55
Hence , all numbers = 55,57,59,61,63
