14. Xuomi wants to convert his two storey house that has 5 rooms each in two floors
into a hotel. Xuomi decides to number his first floor rooms with 5 consecutive numbers
in the 100's, and his second floor numbers would be 5 consecutive numbers in the
200's. Goes without saying that the 5 room numbers in the 2nd floor are 100 more than
the corresponding room numbers from the first floor.
Being a mathematician, Xuomi is extremely fascinated by primes and also unconcerned

about other people's preference for simple sequences. So, he decides to number his
rooms in such a way as to have as many prime numbers as possible. His friend, Pytha

told him blithely that the maximum he could manage was 5 numbers. Xuomi generated

the maximum amount of contempt possible with his eyes and told his friend that not

even his father (Pytha's father, not Xuomi's) Goras could accommodate 5 primes and 4

primes was the limit of anyone's ambition.

So, they decided to go for 4. Pytha suggested that they might want to go for numbers

such that average number of all the room numbers put together would also be prime.

Xuomi checked his math and told him this was possible.

Xuomi also wanted the first room, or the room with the least number to be prime and

then went on to number his rooms accordingly.

Needless to say, the hotel was a phenomenal project. The mathematicians who visited

the project were mighty impressed and recommended it to all their friends. With

mathematicians from all over the world making it a point to stay here at least once,

demand went through the roof. Having said that, all the mathematicians wanted to stay

in prime number rooms and so occupancy never crossed 40%.

Xuomi went out of business and sold his property to Mr. Frump who made millions by

making it a casino.

What is the average of the room numbers in the first floor?

A.129
B.120
C.130
D.229
