      Solution

      ATQ, Let the consecutive even numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 x+ x+2+ x+4+ x+6+ x+8 = 56×5 = 280 5x = 280-20 = 260 A = 52 Consecutive even numbers are 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 Highest even number = 60 Lowest odd number = 60/20×11 = 33 Consecutive odd numbers is 33, 35, 37, 39 Average of 4 consecutive odd numbers(n) = 144/4 = 36 Lowest number of the series = 36+2 = 38 Average of 5 consecutive another even numbers of series = 38+40+42+44+46 = 210/5 = 42
