Let the five consecutive even numbers be :
x-4,x-2,x,x+2,x+4
Sum of the five consecutive even numbers = 170.
There fore,
{ (x-4)+(x-2)+(x)+(x+2)+(x+4) } = 170.
5*x = 170
x = 170/5 = 34
Hence the consecutive even numbers are : 30,32,34,36 and 38.
Smallest number among them is 30.
Second largest number among them is 32.
Hence, sum of second largest number and the square of the smallest number is :
30*30 + 32 = 932.
