      B 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the first number be 'x'

      Therefore, the five consecutive even numbers will be 'x', (x + 2), (x + 4), (x + 6), (x + 8)

      ATQ:

      x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 5 Γ— 20

      Or, 5x + 20 = 100

      Or, 5x = 100 - 20

      Or, 5x = 80

      Or, x = 80 Γ· 5 = 16

      Therefore, the first number = 16

      Second largest number = (x + 6) = 16 + 6 = 22
