Answer:

This is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is : 2 , 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58

Now, adding any three numbers to get 60, is not possible.

The numbers are in the form [tex]2+4n[/tex] where n is a positive integer.

Summing together three such numbers you get [tex]6+4N[/tex]

(N = n1 + n2 + n3, ...)

We want to get [tex]6+4N= 60[/tex]

=> [tex]4N =54[/tex]

=> [tex]n1+n2+n3 =27.5[/tex]

Hence, it is not possible.
