Solution

The correct option is C Find 3 consecutive odd numbers on either side of 49.
After dividing 73 by 7, if the quotient is an odd number then the quotient (49) is the middle number. If the quotient is an even number, the numbers on either side of the quotient are the middle numbers. After the middle number(s) is found, we need to find 71=6 more odd numbers.
The next step is to find 3 immediate odd numbers on either side of the middle number. The numbers are- 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55.
