Set X contains 10 consecutive integers. Sum of the 5 least numbers of the set is 265. The sum of the four greatest numbers of that set is
10 consecutive integers are:-
$$ x,(x+1),(x+2), (x+3), (x+4),--------(x+9)$$
sum of the 5 least number of the set is 265
$$\Rightarrow x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4) = 265$$
$$\Rightarrow 5x+10 = 265$$
$$\Rightarrow 5x = 255$$
$$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{255}{5}$$
$$\Rightarrow x = 51$$
Therefore, the sum of 4 greatest number of the set will be
$$\Rightarrow (x+6)+(x+7)+(x+8)+(x+9)$$
$$\Rightarrow 4x+30$$
$$\Rightarrow 4\times 51+30$$
$$\Rightarrow 204+30$$
Hence the sun of the greatest number will be 234
