jaishree99: d u want explanation?
manvimm: yes
jaishree99: Let one number be x.
Then, the other number will be x+2.
The third number = x+2+2 = x +4

It is given that their sum is 21.

So, 
x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 21
= 3x + 6 = 21
= 3x = 15
x = 5
and x+2 = 7
x+4 = 9.

Hence, the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 21 are 5, 7 and 9.
