The average (arithmetic mean) of 3 consecutive prime numbers is 41/3.
So total of 3 consecutive numbers = 41
Try hit and trial (I got it in 1st guess though)... 11,13,17
[How to make exact guess?
To make the exact guess... divide the nearest multiple of 3 and mid number should be near to it.
So 41~42/3 = 14
So mid prime number should be near to 14
Take 13 and consecutive prime numbers become 11,13,17 . Sum = 41 ]
So the largest of the 3 consecutive prime numbers is 17 ..

The fastest way to do this is process elimination.
Only answer D works out to 41/3
PROOF: (11+ 13 + 17)/3 = 41/3
The answer is D
