The sum of the four consecutive even numbers is 284. What would be the smallest number?


A) 72

B) 74

C) 68

D) 66

Correct Answer:
C) 68

Description for Correct answer:
Let four consecutive even numbers are

x,x + 2,x + 4 and x + 6.

According to the question,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 284

=> 4x + 12 = 284

=> 4x = 284-12 = 272

x = \( \Large \frac{272}{4} \)=68
