consecutive even no are those no That come continuously and divisible by 2
so: let no be 2, 4, 6, 8
here take 6 as width and 8 as length
so width is decrease by 3 = 6-3 =3
so area is already given 24 so if we get Area 24 means we have assume right length and width
8*3 = 24 Means we assume right consecutive no
then original Area is 8*6= 48
