What is the largest possible value for the sum of five consecutive even numbers, if 10 and 12 are included amongst the five numbers?
(A) 90
(B) 50
(C) 40
(D) 60
(E) 70
To make the sum of the five consecutive even numbers including 10 and 12 as large as possible, we should make 10 and 12 the smallest of these five numbers.

Therefore, to make the sum as large as possible, the numbers should be 10,12, 14, 16, and 18, which have a sum of 70 .

ANSWER: (E)
