Download Solution PDFGiven:
5 consecutive numbers A, B, C, D and E
Formula Used:
Average= Sum of numbers/Total count
Calculation:
As they are consecutive, the numbers can be represented as-
a, a+1, a+2, a+3,a+4.
Average of these numbers= 48
⇒ 48= (a+a+1+a+2+a+3+a+4)/5
⇒ 48= (5a+10)/5
⇒ 48= a+2
⇒ a= 46
Therefore, E = 46 + 4 = 50.
Product of A and E = 46 × 50 = 2300.
