If a, b, c, d, e are five consecutive odd numbers, their average is :

A. $${\text{5}}\left( {{\text{a}} + 4} \right)$$

B. $$\frac{{{\text{abcde}}}}{5}$$

C. $$5\left( {{\text{a}} + {\text{b}} + {\text{c}} + {\text{d}} + {\text{e}}} \right)$$

D. $${\text{a}} + 4$$

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let five consecutive odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Here, a = 1, b = 3, c = 5, d = 7, e = 9
According to the question,
Average
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{1 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 9}}{5} \cr & = \frac{{25}}{5} \cr & = 5 \cr} $$
Now check the option
Option (D) a + 4
Here a = 1
1 + 4 = 5 satisfy
