Correct Answer: 713


Solution : Since the average of 5 consecutive odd numbers will be its 3 rd term. So, find 1 st term by subtracting 4 from it and 5 th term by adding 4.
So, 3rd term =27
Therefore, 1 st term = 27 - 4 = 23 and 5 th term = 27 + 4 = 31
So, the product of the first and the last number = 23 × 31 = 713
Hence, the correct answer is 713.
