Number System
The sum of 8 consecutive odd numbers is 656. Also average of four consecutive even numbers is 87. What is the sum of the smallest odd number and second largest even number ?
Average of 8 consecutive odd numbers = 656/8 = 82∴ Fourth number = 82 - 1 = 81∴ First numbers = 75Average of 4 even numbers = 87∴ Second even number = 87 - 1 = 86Second largest even number = 88∴ Required sum = 75 + 88 = 163
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, the number will be divisible by 9.2 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 19The nearest multiple of 9 is 18.19 - 18 = 1.
