The average of five consecutive even numbers is M.If the next five even numbers are also included, the average of ten numbers will be:
The average of five consecutive even numbers = M
Sum of the 5 number = 5M
Let the first even number be x.
$$\frac{x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8}{5} = M$$
5x = 5M - 20
x = M - 4
Next 5 numbers = x + 10, x + 12, x + 14, x + 16, x + 18,
On put the value of x,
Numbers = M + 6, M + 8, M + 10, M + 12, M + 12
average of ten numbers = $$\frac{5M + M + 6 + M + 8 + M + 10 + M + 12 + M + 14}{10}$$
= (10M + 50)/10 = M + 5
