The average of 5 consecutive even numbers is 46. If the next 3 consecutive even numbers are added, what is the new average?

  1. 48

  2. 49

  3. 50

  4. 51

Answer: B

Solution

The five numbers are 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50. The next three are 52, 54 and 56. New average = (42 + 44 + 46 + 48 + 50 + 52 + 54 + 56)/8 = 49.
