AnswEr:

Three consecutive numbers are : 80, 81 and 82.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

According to the question, their sum is 243.

=> x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 243

=> 3x + 3 = 243

=> 3x = 243 - 3

=> 3x = 240

=> x = 240/3

=> x = 80

Therefore, three consecutive numbers be 80, 81 and 82.
