The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. The largest of them is:

  • A.30
  • B.34
  • C.32
  • D.36

Answer: B

Write them as \(n-2\), \(n\), \(n+2\). Their sum is \(3n = 96\), so \(n = 32\) and the numbers are 30, 32 and 34. The largest is 34. The spacing of 2 cancels in the sum, so the middle term is still the sum divided by three.
