The sum of $4$ consecutive integers is $70$. Then the greatest among them is ___________.

• A. $19$
• B. $23$
• C. $17$
• D. $16$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$19$

Let $4$ consecutive numberss be $x,x+1,x+2,x+3$

Sum of the four consecutive numbers is $70$

Therefore,

$x+x+1+x+2+x+3=70$

$4x=64$

$x=16$

Therefore greatest number= $x+4$=$16+3=19$
