Question

the sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 153 find the number which is multiply of 17 out of these number

Answer 1

Let the first number be 17a

Second number = 17a +17

Third number = 17a + 34

According to question,

17a + 17a + 17 + 17a + 34 = 153

=> 51a + 51 = 153

=> 51a = 102

=> a = 2

First number = 17 × 2 = 34

Second number = 34 +17 = 51

Third number = 34 + 34 = 68
