The sum of two consecutive even number is 86. The larger of two is(a)46 (b)36 (c)38 (d)44

Answer»

(d) 44

Because,

Let the two consecutive even numbers be x and (x +2)

= x + (x+2) = 86

= x + x + 2 = 86

= 2x + 2 = 86

= 2x = 86 – 2

= 2x = 84

= x = 84/2

= x = 42

The larger number is (x +1) = 42 +2 = 44
