Let the four consecutive even numbers are = $$x , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)$$ and three consecutive odd numbers = $$y , (y+2) , (y+4)$$ Acc to ques, => $$x + y = 55$$ ------------Eqn(1)
and $$[(x) + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6)] - [(y) + (y+2) + (y+4)] = 107$$ => $$(4x + 12) - (3y + 6) = 107$$ => $$4x - 3y = 107 - 6 = 101$$ -----------Eqn(2) Multiplying eqn(1) by 3 and add it to eqn(2), we get : => $$3x + 4x = 55 imes 3 + 101$$ => $$7x = 165 + 101 = 266$$ => $$x = frac{266}{7} = 38$$
