1. Average of 17 even consecutive iintegers is 42. What is the 3rd number from the begining of the series when the integers are arranged in an increasing sequence?
- A. 32
- B. 32
- C. 32
- D. 32
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
There are 8 even integers before 42 and the other 8 integers are after 42.
The third of them will be 42 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 = 42 - 12 = 30.
[Alternatively, The first one will be 42 - (8 x 2) = 42 - 16 = 26.
The third one will be 26 + 2 + 2 = 30]
