Let, the numbers = x,(x+2),(x+4),(x+6)

x+x+2+x+4+x+6 = 100-4 = 96

4x+12=96

4x = 84

x = 84/4 = 21

Second largest number, (x+2) = 21+2 = 23

So, your answer is 23

from 2007 to 2012 is only 5 years, so we can see this as a compound interest with a rate of 1.2% per annum for 5 years, so

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$113505\\ r=rate\to 1.2\%\to \frac{1.2}{100}\dotfill &0.012\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{per year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=113505\left(1+\frac{0.012}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies A=113505(1.012)^5\implies A\approx 120481$
