Let the four numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6.=> x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 36=> 4x + 12 = 36 => x = 6The numbers are 6, 8, 10 and 12.Sum of their squares = 62 + 82 + 102 + 122 = 36 + 64 + 100 + 144 = 344.
Let the number of children be 'x' Therefore, each child will receiveX x 60/100 = 3x/5 chocolates∴ X x 3x/5 = 735∴ x² x 735x5/3 = 1225∴ x = 1225 = 35∴ Number of chocolates = 3x/5 = 21
