please explain, how do we know the no. of numbers are there in the sequence.Vemuri wrote:IMO D
Let the 4 consecutive numbers be a, a+2, a+4, a+6
Stmt1: Sum of last 2 numbers, i.e. (a+4) + (a+6) = 30 ==> 2a+10 = 30 ==> a = 10. So, the fourth even number is a+6 ==> 16. Sufficient.
Stmt2: Sum of first 2 numbers, i.e. a + (a+2) = 22 ==> 2a+2 = 22 ==> a = 10. So, the fourth even number is a+6 ==> 16. Sufficient.
