      B 184 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 166 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the consecutive even numbers be: x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8, x + 10, x + 12, x + 14, x + 16.

      According to question: x = 0.84 × (x + 16)

      0.16x = 13.44

      x = 84

      So the desired sum = 84 + 2 + 84 + 14 = 184
