Answer 1

Correct Answer: 37

Solution : Given,
The average of 4 consecutive numbers is 35.5.
Let the 4 numbers be $x, x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3$
⇒ $\frac{x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3}{4} = 35.5$
⇒ $4 x + 6 = 142$
⇒ $4 x = 136$
⇒ $x = 34$
⇒ The highest number $= x + 3 = 34 + 3 = 37$
Hence, the correct answer is 37.
