The correct Answer is:
To find the average of five consecutive odd numbers, we can denote the first odd number as \( X \). The five consecutive odd numbers can then be expressed as follows: 1. First number: \( X \) 2. Second number: \( X + 2 \) 3. Third number: \( X + 4 \) 4. Fourth number: \( X + 6 \) 5. Fifth number: \( X + 8 \) ### Step 1: Understand the problem We need to find the average of these five numbers. The average is calculated by summing all the numbers and dividing by the count of numbers. ### Step 2: Calculate the sum of the five numbers The sum of the five consecutive odd numbers is: \[ X + (X + 2) + (X + 4) + (X + 6) + (X + 8) \] This simplifies to: \[ 5X + (2 + 4 + 6 + 8) = 5X + 20 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the average The average of these five numbers is: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{5X + 20}{5} = X + 4 \] ### Step 4: Analyze the statements Now we will analyze the two statements provided: **Statement I:** The difference between the fifth number and the first number is 7. \[ (X + 8) - X = 8 \] This gives us: \[ 8 = 7 \] This statement is not true and does not provide any useful information. **Statement II:** The sum of the first two numbers is 5 more than the fifth number. \[ (X + (X + 2)) = (X + 8) + 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2X + 2 = X + 13 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2X - X = 13 - 2 \implies X = 11 \] ### Step 5: Find the average using Statement II Using \( X = 11 \): - The five consecutive odd numbers are: - First: \( 11 \) - Second: \( 13 \) - Third: \( 15 \) - Fourth: \( 17 \) - Fifth: \( 19 \) Now, we can find the average: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19}{5} = \frac{75}{5} = 15 \] ### Conclusion The average of the five consecutive odd numbers is \( 15 \). ### Final Answer Only Statement II is sufficient to answer the question, while Statement I is not sufficient. Therefore, the answer is: **Option 2: Statement II alone is sufficient.**

To find the average of five consecutive odd numbers, we can denote the first odd number as \( X \). The five consecutive odd numbers can then be expressed as follows: 1. First number: \( X \) 2. Second number: \( X + 2 \) 3. Third number: \( X + 4 \) 4. Fourth number: \( X + 6 \) 5. Fifth number: \( X + 8 \) ...
