Correct Answer: 70
Solution :
The average of 6 consecutive even numbers is 35.
Let the 6 consecutive even numbers be n, (n + 2), (n + 4), (n + 6), (n + 8), (n + 10).
The Sum of 6 consecutive numbers = n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6) + (n + 8) + (n + 10) = 210
Average=
⇒ 6n + 30 = 6
⇒ 6n + 30 = 210
So, the smallest number = 30 and the largest number = 30 + 10 = 40
The sum is 30 + 40 = 70
Hence, the correct answer is 70.
