Solution : The average of 6 consecutive even numbers is 35. Let the 6 consecutive even numbers be n, (n + 2), (n + 4), (n + 6), (n + 8), (n + 10). The Sum of 6 consecutive numbers = n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) + (n + 6) + (n + 8) + (n + 10) = 210 Average= $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}$ ⇒ 6n + 30 = 6 $\times$ 35 ⇒ 6n + 30 = 210 $\therefore$ n = 30 So, the smallest number = 30 and the largest number = 30 + 10 = 40 The sum is 30 + 40 = 70 Hence, the correct answer is 70.
