    B 1353 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    D 1555 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the numbers be x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8. Average = (x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8)/5 = 37. Total = 5x + 20 = 185. x = 33. Numbers are 33, 35, 37, 39, 41. Product of largest and smallest = 33 × 41 = 1353. Correct option: b
