Question

Q25. If the sum of three consecutive integers is less than 75, what is the greatest possible value of the smallest one?
A. 23
B. 24
C. 25
D. 26​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the smallest integer be x.

Then, the three integers are x, (x+1) and (x+2), as they are consecutive.

According to question,

x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 75

Or, 3x+3 = 75

Or, 3x = 72

Or, x = 24
