The largest number in a series of consecutive even integers is w. If the number of integers is n, what is the smallest number in terms of w and n?	Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) w– 2n  B) w–n + 1  C) w– 2(n– 1)  D) n– 6 + w  E) w – n/2
Another method would be to use the concept of Arithmetic Progressions. Consecutive even integers form an AP where the common difference is 2.   In an AP, Last term = First term + (n-1)*common difference   w = First term + (n-1)*2   First term = w - 2(n-1)   ANSWER:w– 2(n– 1)
