Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Considering statement 1:

Let the 5 consecutive numbers be $x-2$ , $x-1$ , $x$ , $x+1$ , $x+2$

Their sum = $5x = 100$

Or $x = 20$

So, the numbers are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22.

Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

Considering statement 2:

We know that, $1 + 2 + 3 = 6$

And $1 \times 2 \times 3 = 6$

So, Statement 2 is correct too.
