Let the,

• First even no be x

Then,

• Second Number = ( x + 2)

• Third Number = (x + 4)

Now,

According to Question :-

=> x + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) = 132

=> x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 132

=> 3x + 6 = 132

=> 3x = 132 - 6

=> x = 126/3 = 42

So,

First number = x = 42

Second Number = ( x + 2) = 42 + 2 = 44

Third Number = ( x + 4) = 42 + 4 = 46
