D. 49

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

According to the question,
First six odd numbers which are divisible by '7'
7, 21, 35, 49, 63, 77
difference in each value is 14
Sn = $$\frac{n}{2}$$ [2a + (n - 1) d]
Sn = $$\frac{6}{2}$$ [2 × 7 + (6 - 1) × 14]
Sn = 3 (14 + 70)
Sn = 252
∴ Average = $$\frac{252}{6}$$ = 42
