Correct Answer: 74
Solution : Since it is a sequence of five consecutive terms, it is an arithmetic progression. Also, the Mid-term of an odd number of terms of an Arithmetic Progression is the Arithmetic Mean. So, average = 37 = third term of the sequence So, the first term (least) = 37 – 2 × 2 = 33 and the last term (highest) = 37 + 2 × 2 = 41 $\therefore$ Sum = 41 + 33 = 74 Hence, the correct answer is 74.
