Verified answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the first even number is 'x'. Then the next four consecutive even numbers can be represented as x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, and x + 8.

According to the given problem, the sum of these five even numbers is 60. So we can write the equation:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 60

Simplifying the equation, we get:

5x + 20 = 60

Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get:

5x = 40

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 8

Therefore, the five consecutive even numbers are: 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16.

The middle one among them is 12.

Hence, the correct option is (2) 12.
