(i) 10

(ii) 15

(iii) 20

(iv) 25​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A !!

Let 5x be the smallest multiple of 5.

Then, the three consecutive multiples shall be,

➝ 5x

➝5x+5

➝5x+10

• According to the question,

➝5x+5x+5+5x+10=45

➝5x+5x+5x=45−15

➝15x=30

➝x=2

∴ Smallest multiple =5x=5×2=10

the smallest of the three as a consecutive multiple of 5 is (i) 10
