Question

If the sum of two consecutive even numbers is 66, then the smaller one is:
1. 34
2. 32
3. 42
4. 24

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 32

Calculation:

Let the smaller numbers be x

The other numbers are (x + 2)

According to the question,

x + (x + 2) = 66

⇒ 2x = 64

⇒ x = 32

∴ The smaller one is 32.
