In a school with 5 classes, each class has 2 students less then the previous class. How many students are there in the largest class if the total number of students at school is 95?

A. 17
B. 19
C. 21
D. 23
E. 25

The number of students is nothing but an AP with common difference of 2...
so the average of 5 classes = number of students in the middle class \(= \frac{95}{5} = 19\)..

Now largest number of students in a class = 19+2+2 = 23

Its an AP with common difference -2.

since the number of terms( number of classes ) = 5,
therefore, average = middle term = 3rd term = 95/5 = 19
largest term = 19+2+2 = 23

Easy one as per give question 5 clases and suppose number of student in 1st class is x then every next is +2 so
x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8=95
5x+20=95
5x=75
x=15
now exmainer is asking for class that has max. students so
x+8=15+8=23
option D
