Find three consecutive natural numbers such that the sum of the first and the second is 15 more than the third.
उत्तर
Let the first conscutive number = x,
Second consecutive number = x + 1
and Third consecutive number = x + 2
According to the condition,
x + x + 1 = 15 + x + 2
⇒ 2x + 1 = 17 +x
⇒ 2x -x = 17 – 1
⇒ x= 16
∴ The first consecutive number = 16
Second consecutive number =16+1 = 17
Third consecutive number =16 + 2=18
