Answer:

This is not possible.

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
2+4n where n is a positive integer.

Summing together three such numbers you get
6+4N

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

We want to get
6+4N= 60

=>
4N =54

=>
n1+n2+n3 =27.5

Hence, it is not possible.
