Answer 1

Correct Answer: 184

Solution : Given: The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 748.
Let the smallest number be $n$ . Then, the four consecutive even numbers are $n, n + 2, n + 4, n + 6$ .
According to the question,
$n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6) = 748$
or, $4 n + 12 = 748$
or, $4 n = 748 - 12 = 736$
or, $n = \frac{736}{4} = 184$
Hence, the the smallest number is $184$ .
