Question

The summation of five consecutive numbers is 1185. Which is the third number?

Answer 1

Answer:

the third no. is 237

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

the number be 'x'

=>five consecutive no. are

x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4

Given,

the summation of the no. is 1185

then,

(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)=1185

5x+10=1185

5x=1175

• x=235

the third no. of series=x+2

=235+2

• =237
