Let the consecutive odd number be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 respectively.According to the question x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 104 = 4x + 12 = 104 = 4x = 104 - 12 = 92∴ x = 92/4 = 23∴ Required number = x + 4= 23 + 4 = 27
Let the consecutive even numbers be A = 2x, B = 2x + 2, C = 2x + 4, D = 2x + 6 and E = 2x + 8= A + B + C + D + E = 130= 10x + 20 = 130∴ x = 130 - 20/10 = 11Therefore, product of A and E= 22 x 30 = 660
