The average of 10 consecutive integers is 33/2. What is the average of first three integers ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the integers be x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4, x+5, x+6, x+7, x+8, x+9
Sum of these integers = 10x + 45 = \(\frac{33}{2}\) x 10
⇒ 10x + 45 = 165
⇒ x = 12
Average of first three integers =\(\frac{ 12 + 13 + 14}{3}\) = 13
