alleryStart learning →Three consecutive even integers are needed for a problem. If the first is called n, what are the next two?
An + 1 and n + 2
Bn + 1 and n + 3
Cn + 4 and n + 8
Dn + 2 and n + 4
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. n + 2 and n + 4
1. Consecutive even integers each sit 2 more than the one before.
2. Starting from n, the next even integer is n + 2.
3. The one after that is n + 2 + 2, which is n + 4.
4. Using n + 1 would land on an odd number, the trap in two of the wrong options.
