To find out the number among the given option that is equal to the sum of two consecutive even integers
Answer to Problem 56HP
The sum of two consecutive even number is 146. The correct answer is option B.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given option options are,
A. 144
B. 146
C. 147
D. 148
When the two consecutive even integers is added then the obtained sum will also be an even number so the answer must be from option A, B and D.
When 144, 146 and 148 is divided by 2 the answer is got as 72, 73 and 74 so it is obvious that the two consecutive even numbers are from 70’s of the number
