The average of 15 different natural numbers is 13. The maximum value of the second largest of these nubers is

Solution

Let first natural number = a

Second natural number = a + 1

15th natural number = a + 14

According to the question:

$$\frac{a + a + 1 + a + 2 + ........... + a + 14}{15} = 13$$

15a + 105 = 195

a = 6

Second largest of these nubers = a + 13 = 19
