After removing two adjacent odd numbers from 60 natural numbers 41-100, the average of the remaining numbers is 71. The product of the two numbers removed is            .

  • A.

  • B.

    3143

  • C.

    3153

  • D.

    3135

  • E.

    3145

Answer:D

(41+100)\times60\div2-58\times71=112

112\div2=56, so the two odd numbers are 55 and 57, which have a product of 3135.
