Let the smallest number here be 'x'.
Then, the three nos. are x, x+1, x+2.
According to question,
2(x) + 3(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 74
=> 2x + 3x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 74
=> 9x + 11 = 74
=> 9x = 63. => x = 7.
Thus, the three numbers are -:
7, 8 and 9.
Respective multiples are -:
2(7), 8(3), 9(4)
i.e. 14, 24 and 36.
