  • Question
  • The average of 4 consecutive even numbers is 27. What is the greatest number


  • Options
  • A. 28
  • B. 26
  • C. 32
  • D. 30

  • Correct Answer
  • 30 

    Explanation

    Let the four consecutive even number are x, ( x+2), (x+4), (x+6).
    Clearly this is a series of consecutive even numbers
    According to the formula,
    Average of consecutive numbers = (first number + last number)/ 2
    ? 27 = [x + (x + 6)]/2
    ? x + 3 = 27
    ? x =24

    ? Greatest number = 4th consecutive even number = (x + 6) = 24 + 6 = 30
