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:-
$$Â x,(x+1),(x+2), (x+3), (x+4),--------(x+9)$$
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
 $$\Rightarrow (x+6)+(x+7)+(x+8)+(x+9)$$
 $$\Rightarrow 4x+30$$
 $$\Rightarrow 4\times 51+30$$Â
 $$\Rightarrow 204+30$$
  Hence the sun of the greatest number will be  234
