Answer 1

the no divisible by 3 are X,X+3,X+6

Answer 2

Answer:

The largest number among them is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of three consecutive odd natural numbers each divisible by 3 is 72.

To find : What is the largest among them?

Solution :

Let x , x+3 , x+6 are three consecutive numbers divisible by 3

According to question,

$x+x+3+x+6=72$

$3x+9=72$

$3x=72-9$

$3x=63$

$x=\frac{63}{3}$

$x=21$

Substitute the value of x in consecutive numbers,

x=21,

x+3=21+3=24,

x+6=21+6=27

Therefore, The largest number among them is 27.
