Detailed Solution

Concept-
Let x be the first even number. We also know that his next three even numbers are (x+2) , (x+4) , and (x+6) . We also have the relationship (x) + (+ 2) + (+ 4) + (+ 6) = 356. By solving this equation, we get all  four  numbers we need.
Now that we know that the sum of the four consecutive numbers is 356,  we have:
 Question Image Therefore, Question Image Now,  transposing 12 from  left  or left to  right  or right gives:
 Question ImageDividing both sides by 4, we get:
x=86Therefore, the first even number  x=86, the second even number  (x+2)=86+2=88 the third even number (x+4)= 86+4=90 the fourth even number
(x+6)= 86+6=92.
Therefore, the four consecutive even numbers whose sum equals 356 are 86, 88,90,92
Hence, the correct answer is option 4) all of the above
