Choices:-​

Answer 1

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the four consecutive numbers be a , a+2 , a + 4 and a + 6 taking 'a' as even number

their sum = a + a + 2 + a + 4 + a + 6 = 292

⇒ 4 a + 12 = 292

⇒ 4a = 292 - 12

⇒ 4a = 280

⇒ a = 280 / 4

⇒ a = 70

the four even numbers a = 70

a + 2 = 70+2 = 72

a + 4 = 74

a + 6 = 76

The smallest number is 70
