Answers
What is Even Consective Number?
The Even Consective is a term which implies nearest even number or the successor even number.
Example - 4,6,8,10,12 ....
We can find that every even consecutive number differs by 2.
Let the smallest number be x
The next number will be x + 2
Largest number will be x + 2 + 2 = x + 4
The sum of these numbers is 138.
TO FIND :- The numbers
SOLUTION :-
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 138
=> 3x + 6 = 138
=> 3x = 132
=> x = 44
44 is the smallest number.
Middle number will be 44 + 2 = 46.
Largest number will be 44 + 4 = 48
VERIFICATION
LHS
= 44 + 46 + 48
= 138
= RHS
HENCE LHS = RHS ; Our Answer is correct.
