Correct Answer: 15.5
Solution : Let the 8 consecutive integers be $x, (x + 1), (x+2), (x+3), (x+4), (x+5), (x+6), (x+7)$ Average $=\frac{x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)+(x+6)+(x+7)}{8} = \frac{27}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{8x+28}{8} = \frac{27}{2}$ ⇒ $8x = 108 - 28$ ⇒ $x = \frac{80}{8} = 10$ $\therefore$ The sum of the largest four of these integers = $(x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7)$ = 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 So, the average of the largest four of these integers = $\frac{14 + 15 + 16 + 17}{4}$ = $\frac{62}{4}$ = 15.5 Hence, the correct answer is 15.5.
