Given:

The average of 6 consecutive odd numbers is 64.

Calculation:

Let the numbers be (a - 5), (a - 3), (a - 1), (a + 1), (a + 3), (a + 5).

According to question,

(a - 5) + (a - 3) + (a - 1) + (a + 1) + (a + 3) +  (a + 5) = 6 × 64

⇒  6a - 9 + 9 = 6 × 64

⇒  6a = 6 × 64

∴ a = 64

Greatest number = a + 5 = 64 + 5 = 69

Hence, 69 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is 25.
