    A 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the numbers be ( 2n ) and ( (2n + 2) ) respectively.  ATQ,  (2n * (2n + 2) = 120 )  Or, ( n * (2n + 2) = 60 )  Or, ( 2n² + 2n = 60 )  Or, ( n² + n = 30 )  Or, ( n² + n - 30 = 0 )  Or, ( n² + 6n - 5n - 30 = 0 )  Or, ( n(n + 6) - 5(n + 6) = 0 )  Or, ( (n + 6)(n - 5) = 0 )  So, ( n = -6 ) or ( 5 )  So, (n = 5)  So, numbers are ( 10 ) and ( 12 ).  Therefore, required sum = ( 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 4 )
