What is the smallest of six consecutive odd integers whose average (arithmetic mean) is a + 2?	Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) a - 5  B) a  C) a - 1  D) a - 3  E) a + 1
Since the numbers are consecutive odd integers, mean = median = 3rd integer + 4th integer /2   And 1st integer= 3rd integer- 4   let's say 3rd integer = n and 4th integer = n+2   2n+2/2= a+2   n= a+1   1st integer= a+1-4= a-3   a - 3 is the answer
<result>D</result>
