    1. ans 6..take any set of 4 consecutive even numbers..the ans will be same...
      eg: 2,4,6,8
      avg=2+4+6+8/4,which gives us 20/4 i.e., 5...1/4th of 20 is also 5...therefore diff between 1st and last is 8-2=6

      avg=4+6+8+10/4, which gives us 28/4 i.e.,7 1/4th of 28 is also 7...therefore diff between 1st and last 10-4=6
