Question

three consecutive whole number are such that if they be divided by 5,3 and 4 respectively; the sum of the quotients is 40. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive whole numbers be x,x+1,x+2

Now, according to question

x/5 + (x+1)/3 + (x+2)/4 =40

12x+20x+20+15x+30=2400

47x=2350

x=50

Hence, the three consecutive whole numbers are 50,51 and 52.
