The sum of the five consecutive numbers is equal to 170. What is the product of largest and the smallest numbers?


A) 1512

B) 1102

C) 1152

D) 1210

Correct Answer:
C) 1152

Description for Correct answer:
Let the five consecutive numbers are

x,(x + 1) and (x + 2),

(x + 3) and (x + 4).

According to the question,

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=170

5x + 10 = 170

=> 5x = 160

x = \( \Large \frac{160}{5} \)

= 32

Largest number = (x + 4)

= 32 + 4 = 36

Required product

= \( \Large 32\times 36 \) = 1152
