Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The smallest of three consecutive even integers is 40 less then three times the largest . What is the largest of three integers ?

Let the integers be, N - 2, N and N + 2. respectively.

Now, (N - 2) = 3 x (N + 2) - 40

or, N - 2 = 3N + 6 - 40

or, 3N - N = 40 - 6 - 2

or, 2N = 32

or, N = 16

So, the largest even integer = N + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
