The average of 5 consecutive even numbers is 20. What is the largest number?
A
22
B
24
C
26
D
28
Correct Answer: Option B — 24
Explanation:
Consecutive even numbers: n n+2 n+4 n+6 n+8. Average = n+4 = 20 so n=16. Largest = 16+8 = 24. Consecutive number problems are common in competitive exams. Setting up the correct algebraic representation and using the average formula is the standard approach for solving such sequence problems efficiently.
