List S: 2n+1,2n+3,2n+5,2n+7,2n+9,2n+11,......
first term in list T must be 7 less than first term in list S
first in list T=2n+1-7=2n-6
list T: 2n-6,2n-4,2n-2,2n,2n+2
average of list S=((2n+1)+........+(2n+19))/10 =(20n+100)/10 = 2n+10
average of list T=((2n-6)+....+(2n+2))/5 = (10n-10)/5 =2n-2
difference is =((2n+10)-(2n-2))=12
so the correct answer is D
