Question

10) of five comecutive natural numbers the
Sum first 3 is 33 What is the sum of next two numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the first number be x.                      Now, 4th consecutive number =

Then, 2nd consecutive number = x + 1                     x + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13

           3rd consecutive number = x + 2          and 5th consecutive number =

Hence, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 33                                       x + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

        ⇒ 3x + 3 = 33                                          Hence, the sum of 4th and 5th      

        ⇒ 3x = 33 - 3                                           consecutive number =

        ⇒ 3x = 30                                                                  13 + 14 = 27

∴ x = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
