The average of six consecutive numbers A, B, C, D, E and F is 62. What is the sum of B and F?

Question: The average of six consecutive numbers A, B, C, D, E and F is 62. What is the sum of B and F?

Solution:
Let the Numbers A, B, C, D, E, F be x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5.
According to question,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 = 62 × 6
⇒ 6x + 15 = 372
⇒ 6x = 372 - 15 = 357
⇒ 6x = 357
⇒ x = 59.5

∴ B = x + 1 = 60.5
∴ F = x + 5 = 64.5

∴ B + F = 60.5 + 64.5 = 125
