The sum of 17 consecutive numbers is 289. The sum of another 10 consecutive numbers, whose first term is 5 more than the average of the first set of consecutive numbers, is:
Given, sum of 17 consecutive numbers = 289
$$=$$>Â Average of 17 consecutive numbers =Â $$\frac{289}{17}$$ = 17
According to the problem,
The first term of the another 10 consecutive numbers = 17+5 = 22
$$\therefore\ $$Sum of the another consecutive numbers = 22+23+24+25+26+27+28+29+30+31 =Â $$\frac{31\left(31+1\right)}{2}-\frac{21\left(21+1\right)}{2}=\frac{31\times32}{2}-\frac{21\times22}{2}=496-231=265$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
