To find:-

Number which is prime out of these three numbers.

Solution:-

Let the three numbers be x, x+1 and x+2.

According to the given condition,

$x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 156$

$\implies 3x + 3 = 156$

$\implies 3(x + 1)= 156$

$\implies (x + 1)= 52$

$\implies x = 52 - 1$

$\implies x = 51$

Therefore,

$x = 51$

$x + 1 = 52$

$x + 2 = 53$

Numbers are 51, 52 and 53.

Prime number: 53.
