Solution

Let the four consecutive integers be x, x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

According to the question,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 266   ...[Given]

⇒ 4x + 6 = 266

⇒ 4x = 266 – 6

⇒ 4x = 260

⇒ x = `260/4`

∴  x = 65

Hence, the four consecutive integers are 65, 65 + 1, 65 + 2 and 65 + 3, i.e. 65, 66, 67 and 68.
