option b
The answer is A. You’ve got to use the trick for quickly finding the sum of all numbers between two numbers 37+5=42 37-5=32 32/2=16 16*42=672 so the sum is 672. 672/3=224.
A
37-5 + 1 =33
prime factors are 3 and 11
(37+5) / 2 = 21
33*21=sum of these consec. integers=some big number
but prime factors are 3 and 7
3 is lowest
