assuming the consecutive nos. as n,n+1,n+2,n+3,n+4
we have => n+n+1+n+2+n+3+n+4 = t
=> 5n+10 = t => n = (t-10)/5
from the series assumed, the greatest no. is n+4 = {(t-10)/5}+4 = (t-10+20)/5 = (t+10)/5
the answer is D

C. (t/5)
D. (t + 10)/5
E. (t + 20)/5
the ans should be D not E, please check it out.
the mean of the 5 consecutive integer is t/5= median and the greatest is (t/5)+ 2 Which is equal to D (t + 10)/5.
