Question

The average of six consecutive odd numbers P,Q,R,S,T and U is 116.what is the product of R and T.

Answer 1

Assuming that the numbers are not only consecutive, but fall in the alphabetical order given.

Since 116 is the average, and there are 6 numbers given, 3 must fall on either side of 116. That means that the following should be true:

P:111

Q:113

R:115

S:117

T:119

U:121

Therefore the product of R and T, or R * T, would be 115 * 119 = 13,685.
