The average of four consecutive even number is 27. Then the largest of these number is
A)
15
B)
30
C)
45
D)
50
Let the four consecutive even numbers be x, x+2, x+4, and x+6. Their average is given as 27, so:
(x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6)) / 4 = 27
(4x + 12) / 4 = 27
x + 3 = 27
x = 24
So the numbers are 24, 26, 28, and 30. The largest number is 30.
Why other options are incorrect:
- 15 is not even and cannot be the largest of four consecutive even numbers.
- 45 is odd and impossible here.
- 50 is even, but it is not the largest number in the set that gives average 27.
Therefore, the correct option is b) 30.

The value of (t^2 * t^8 * t^3) / (t^4 * t^25 * t^5 * t^10) is
A)
t^4/t^8
B)
t^4/t^25
C)
t^12/t^8
D)
t^12/t^25
Use the law of indices: when multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents; when dividing, subtract the exponents.
Numerator: t^2 * t^8 * t^3 = t^(2+8+3) = t^13
Denominator: t^4 * t^25 * t^5 * t^10 = t^(4+25+5+10) = t^44
So,
(t^2 * t^8 * t^3) / (t^4 * t^25 * t^5 * t^10) = t^(13-44) = t^(-31) = 1/t^31.
Now compare with the options:
- a: t^4 / t^8 = t^(4-8) = t^-4
- b: t^4 / t^25 = t^(4-25) = t^-21
- c: t^12 / t^8 = t^(12-8) = t^4
- d: t^12 / t^25 = t^(12-25) = t^-13
None of the listed options equals t^-31, so the question/options appear to contain a misprint. If forced to choose from the given options, none is correct.
