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.
