SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

The product of three successive odd numbers is 59163. Find the sum of the three numbers?

a. 114

b. 120

c. 123

d. 117

EVALUATION

Let the given numbers are x - 2 , x and x + 2

So by the given condition

$\sf{(x - 2)x(x + 2) = 59163}$

$\implies \sf{(x - 2)x(x + 2) = 37 \times 39 \times 41}$

Comparing both sides we get x = 39

So the three numbers are 37 , 39 , 41

Hence the sum of the three numbers

= 37 + 39 + 41

= 117

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is d. 117
