The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 190. What is the sum of the largest and the smallest numbers?

1. 75
2. 77
3. 76
4. 73

Correct Option: C

Let the five consecutive number are N - 2, N - 1, N, N +1, N+2
Sum of numbers = 190
∴ N-2 + N -1 + N + N + 2 = 190
⇒ 5N = 190
∴ N = 38
Sum of largest and smallest numbers = (N + 2) + (N - 2)
= 2N = 2 x 38
= 76
