Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Given:
Average of 4 consecutive even numbers is 47.
Formula Used:
Average = Sum of all observations/Total number of observations
Calculation:
Let the four consecutive even terms be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6
According to the question,
⇒ 47 = (x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6)/4
⇒ 47 = (4x + 12)/4
⇒ 188 = 4x + 12
⇒ 4x = 176
⇒ x = 44
Largest number, x + 6,
⇒ 44 + 6 = 50
∴ The largest number is 50.
