Answer:
Numbers are 27 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive natural numbers which are multiples of 3 be x and x+3.
According to the question,
x(x+3) = 810
→ x² + 3x = 810
→ x² + 3x = 810
→ x² + 3x - 810 = 0
→ x² + 30x - 27x - 810 = 0
→ x (x + 30) - 27 (x + 30) = 0
→ (x + 30) (x - 27) = 0
→ x + 30 = 0 or x - 27 = 0
→ x = - 30 or x = 27
∴ x = 27 (∵ -30 is not a natural number)
∴ x + 3 = 27 + 3 = 30
Hence, the two numbers are 27 and 30.
