Answer:
The numbers are 10 and 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
Its consecutive even natural number would be x + 2
∴ The numbers are x and x + 2
x (x + 2) = 120
x² + 2x - 120 = 0
x² + 12x - 10x - 120 = 0
x (x + 12) - 10 (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12) (x - 10) = 0
(x + 12) = 0 or (x - 10) = 0
x = -12 or x = 10
Since the numbers are natural numbers, we take x = 10
∴ The numbers are 10 and 10 + 2 = 12
