The average of 7 consecutive numbers is 20. The largest of these numbers is :
-
- 24
- 23
- 22
- 20
- 24
Correct Option: B
Average of 7 consecutive numbers is 20.
Since the numbers are consecutive, they form an arithmetic series with common difference 1.
Since, 7 is odd, 20 must be the middle number.
We can write the series as below,
17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
∴ The largest of these numbers is 23.
