The numbers less than 696 and are squares of certain numbers are 676, 625.The least number that should be subtracted from 696 to make it perfect square = 696 - 676 = 20.
Let the consecutive even numbers be A = 2x, B = 2x + 2, C = 2x + 4, D = 2x + 6 and E = 2x + 8= A + B + C + D + E = 130= 10x + 20 = 130∴ x = 130 - 20/10 = 11Therefore, product of A and E= 22 x 30 = 660
