Answer (2)

The number can be 102, 108, or 114. They can all be formed that way.
32 + 34 + 36 = 102 34 + 36 + 38 = 108 36 + 38 + 40 = 114
The n ext one is 120 . . . . . 38 + 40 + 42

The three consecutive even numbers that add up to a number between 100 and 120 can be 32, 34, 36 (sum = 102), 34, 36, 38 (sum = 108), or 36, 38, 40 (sum = 114). Each of these groups meets the condition set in the question. Therefore, the numbers can vary based on the starting even number chosen within the determined range.
