Correct Answer: 11
Solution : Let the first odd number be $x$, which is the smallest number. The rest of the consecutive odd numbers are $x+2$, $x+4$, $x+6$, $x+8$. Average = $\frac{x+x+2 + x+4 + x + 6 + x+8}{5}$ $⇒15 = \frac{5x+20}{5}$ $⇒75=5x+20$ $\therefore x = 11$ Hence, the correct answer is 11.
