The product of two consecutive natural numbers which are multiples of 3 is equal to 810. Find the two numbers.
Answers
Answer:
Let the two consecutive natural numbers which are multiples of 3 be 3x and 3(x+1)
Now, 3x(3x+3)=810
⇒x
2
+x=90
⇒x
2
+x−90=0
⇒(x+10)(x−9)=0
⇒x=9 or x=−10
Rejecting negative value of x, because number are natural. We have x=9
Hence, the required numbers are 27 and 30

❍ Let the smaller natural number which is a multiple of 3 be x, then the other consecutive natural number which is a multiple of 3 is x + 3.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
★ According to given, x(x + 3) = 810
➻ x² + 3x - 810 = 0
➻ (x - 27) (x + 30) = 0
➻ x - 27 = 0 or x + 30 = 0
➻ x = 27 or x = -30
❐ But x is a natural number, so we reject x = -30.
∴ x = 27.
❖ Therefore,
- Hence, the numbers are 27 and 27 + 3 i.e., 27 and 30.
