Answer 1

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 114.

To Find :-

• The numbers.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let,

• The first consecutive natural number be x

• The second consecutive natural number be x + 1

• The third consecutive natural number be x + 2

So,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 114

3x + 3 = 114

3x = 114 - 3

3x = 111

x = 111/3

x = 37

Thus,

The value of x is 37.

Now,

• The first consecutive natural number = x = 37

• The second consecutive natural number = x + 1 = 37 + 1 = 38

• The third consecutive natural number = x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39

Hence,

Option b) 37, 38, 39 is correct option.
