Since they are consecutive multiples of 6, they should be in the form 6(n-1), 6(n), 6(n+1).
Here we have sum is 90, 6(n-1)+6n+6(n+1)=18n=90. Therefore, n=5.
Consecutive numbers are 24, 30, 36.

Here is your solution
Let,
The first multiple of 6 be x
Second multiple = x+6
Third multiple = x+6+6 = x+12
A/q
x+x+6+x+12 = 90
=>3x + 18 = 90
=>3x = 90-18 = 72
=>x = 72/3
=>x = 24
Hence,
x=24
x+6 = 30
x+12 = 36
So, the multiples are 24, 26 and 30.
Hope it helps you
