Answer :-
- The Greatest Number = 251.
Explanation :-
Given : Sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 750.
To Find : The Greatest Number.
Solution :
Let,
- First Number = x.
- Second Number = x + 1.
- Third Number = x + 2.
According to the Question,
➞ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 750.
➞ 3x + 3 = 750.
➞ 3x = 750 - 3.
➞ 3x = 747.
➞ x = 747/3.
➞ x = 249.
Therefore,
- First Number = x = 249.
- Second Number = x + 1 = 250.
- Third Number = x + 2 = 251.
We have to find the greatest number.
So, Greatest Number = 251.
Verification :-
➞ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 750.
➞ 249 + 250 + 251 = 750.
➞ 499 + 251 = 750.
➞ 750 = 750.
LHS = RHS.
Hence, Verified.
