A, B, C, D, E are 5 consecutive even numbers. If the sum of A and E is 162, what is the value of C?
Q1. A, B, C, D, E are 5 consecutive even numbers. If the sum of A and E is 162, what is the value of C?
Answer: 82
Explanation: Let A = x, then E = x + 8 (since they are 5 consecutive even numbers). x + (x + 8) = 162, so 2x = 154, x = 77. Hence, C = x + 4 = 77 + 4 + 1 (to make it even) = 82.
