  1. The average of 7 consecutive numbers is 20. The largest of these numbers is :
    1. 24
    2. 23
    3. 22
    4. 20
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.
