A) 989

B) 997

C) 979

D) 998

Correct Answer:
D) 998

Description for Correct answer:
Sum of five consecutive odd numbers

= x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 175

= 5x + 20 = 175

= \( \Large x = \frac{175 - 20}{5} = 31 \)

Sum of the second largest and square smallest one =(31+ 6) + (31)2 = 37 + 961 = 998

= \( \Large \left(31 + 6\right) + \left(31\right)^{2} \)

= 37 + 961 = 998
