Answer 1

Answer:-

• C. The largest number among them is 27.

step-by-step explaination:-

Given:

• The sum of three consecutive odd natural numbers each divisible by 3 is 72.

To Find:

• What is the largest among them?

Solution:

Let x , x+3 , x+6 are three consecutive numbers divisible by 3

According to question,

• → x + x + 3 + x + 6=72
• 3x + 9 = 72
• 3x = 72 - 9
• 3x = 63
• x = 63/3
• x = 21

Substitute the value of x in consecutive numbers,

• x = 21,

• x + 3 = 21+3 = 24,

• x + 6 = 21+6 = 27

Therefore, The largest number among them is 27.
