Let's say our first integer is "a".
how to get the next consecutive EVEN integer? well, just add or subtract 2 from it, therefore, the second consecutive integer will be "a + 2".
and the next after that, will then be (a + 2) + 2, or "a + 4".
so those are are 3 integers, a a + 2 a+4
notice that, from any even or odd integer, if you hop twice either forwards or backwards, you'll land on another even or odd integer respectively.
2 + 2 is 4, or 8 + 2 is 10 some even ones
3 + 2 is 5, or 13 + 2 is 15, some odd ones

Answer:
{0,1,3,4}
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, total no of slices=8.
Total no of friends=4.
also each friend didnt ate more than the other three.
let a,b,c,d be no of slices ate by the friends 1,2,3,4 respectively.
given sum of a+b+c+d=8.
now applying the second condition
so each of a,b,c,d must be less than or equal to 4.
which means 5 values are possible{0,1,2,3,4}.from this set you have to select 4 values such that their sum is 8.hence, those values are {0,1,3,4}.
