Question

If the sum of four consecutive even integers is $212$, what is the value of the second even integer?

• A. $50$
• B. $51$
• C. $52$
• D. $53$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $52$

Let the four consecutive even numbers be $x,x+2,x+4$ and $x+6$.

Therefore, $x+x+2+x+4+x+6=212$
$4x+12=212$
$4x=212-12$

$4x=200$ (Divide both sides by $4$)
$x=50$

The second number be $x+2$

So, the second number is $52$.
