Question

‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ are three consecutive even integers such that four times ‘A’ is equal to three times ‘C’. What is the value of ‘B’?

Options

• 12

• 10

• 16

• 14

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

Let A, B and C be (2n − 2), 2n and (2n + 2) respectively.

Now, 4 (2n − 2) = 3 (2n + 2) ⇒ 8n − 8

= 6n + 6

⇒ 2n = 14 ⇒ n = 7

⇒ B = 2 × 7 = 14
