Sum of three consecutive even numbers = 78
Concept used:
Three consecutive even numbers = x, (x + 2), (x + 4)
Calculation:
According to the question,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 78
⇒ 3x + 6 = 78
⇒ 3x = 78 - 6
⇒ 3x = 72
⇒ x = 72/3 = 24
Thus, Second largest number = (x + 2) = 24 + 2 = 26
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
