      even numbers, is 27. The second term of series 'T6', which consists of 5 consecutive odd numbers, is 5 more than the first term of series 'S6'. Find the average of series 'T6'.

      B 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 29 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let six consecutive even numbers be 'a', (a + 2), (a + 4), (a + 6), (a + 8) and (a + 10), respectively.

      ATQ,

      a + a + 2 + a + 4 + a + 6 + a + 8 + a + 10 = 27 X 6

      Or, 6a = 162 - 30

      So, 'a' = (132 / 6) = 22

      So, 2nd term of series 'T6' = 22 + 5 = 27

      So, series 'T6' = 25, 27, 29, 31, 33

      Therefore, required average = (25 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 33) ÷ 5 = 29
