    A)  400                 

    B)         375                 

    C)  364                 

    D)         539     

    E)  339

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Let the three consecutive numbers be\[x,\,\,x+1\]and\[x+2\] Then,\[x+x+1+x+2=2031\] or,\[3x=2031-3\] or,\[3x=2028\] or, \[x=676\] The numbers are 676, 677 and 678. \[\therefore \]The highest number is 678. \[\therefore \]50% of 678 = 339             Quicker Method: Middle number is the average of 3 consecutive numbers. Middle no.\[=\frac{2021}{3}=677\] \[\Rightarrow \]Highest number\[=678\] \[\therefore \]50% of\[678=\frac{678}{2}=339\]
