Answer/Solution
(Q - 1)/2 + 140
Steps/Work
Consider the easiest case, say Q=3, then;
Set = {139, 140, 141};
The largest integer = 141.
Now, plug Q=3 into the answers to see which yields 141.
Answer: B.
Set = {139, 140, 141};
The largest integer = 141.
Now, plug Q=3 into the answers to see which yields 141.
