Correct Answer: A + 1
Solution : 7 consecutive odd numbers as $x, x+2,x+4, x+6,x+8, x+10, x+12$. So, A = $x+6$ (Midterm is the average) Since the average of 7 consecutive odd numbers is A, so the sum of these numbers is 7A ⇒ The next 3 odd numbers are $x +14,x +16, x +18$ and previous 2 odd numbers are $x-2 , x-4$ ⇒ New Average = $\frac{((x-2)+(x-4)+x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)+(x+12)+(x+14)+(x+16)+(x+18))}{12}$ = $\frac{12x +84}{12}$ = $x + 7$ = A +1 Hence, the correct answer is A +1.
