Correct Answer: 102
Solution : Given that the average of eight consecutive odd numbers is 48. Let the eight consecutive odd number be $x, (x + 2), (x + 4), (x + 6), (x + 8), (x + 10), (x + 12), (x + 14)$ Average of eight consecutive odd numbers = 48 ⇒ $\frac{x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) + (x + 10) + (x + 12) + (x + 14)}{8} = 48$ ⇒ $(8x + 56) = 384$ ⇒ $8x = 328$ ⇒ $x = 41$ $\therefore$ 5th number = 41 + 8 = 49 And, 7th number = 41 + 12 = 53 ⇒ Total = 49 + 53 = 102 Hence, the correct answer is 102.
