    Explanation

    Let the 5 consecutive even numbers of set A = a, a+2, a+4, a+6, a+8 ∴ a + a+2 + a+4 + a+6 + a+8 = 400 (given) ⇒ 5a + 20 = 400 ⇒ 5a = 380 ⇒ a = 76                                             ---(1) Let the 4 consecutive numbers of Set B = b, b+1, b+2, b+3 Now, b = (3a/4) – 5 (given) ⇒ b = {76 × (3/4)} – 5 (from 1) ⇒ b = 57 – 5 ⇒ b = 52 ∴ the 4 numbers of set B = 52, 53, 54, 55. Thus, the sum of the 4 numbers of set B is 214
