Answer:

Smallest number is x - 1 . Option (d) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :- Problem statement :

• Largest no. of the 3 consecutive numbers is x +1 .

To find :- Smallest number of these 3 consecutive numbers .

Solution :-

Step 1) We know , 3 consecutive numbers can be represented as ,

    x - 1 , x , x + 1 .

Step 2) Out of these  numbers , x + 1 :- largest of all ,

                                                     x - 1 :- smallest of all .

Step 3) Let us verify this with an example ,

Let the value of x be " 10 " .

Therefore ,

• x - 1 = 10 -1 = 9
• x = 10
• x + 1 = 10+1 = 11 .

From the above example , we understood that  11 :- largest of them , and 9 : smallest of them .

Answer :- Smallest number is x - 1 . Option (d) is correct .
