Answer:

Three consecutive numbers are 31 , 32 and 33.

Step-by-step explanation:


Here three consecutive numbers can be represented as x , x+1 and x +2.

According to given problem,

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 96     {i.e sum of three consecutive numbers is 96}

3x + 3 = 96

3x = 93

x = 93/3 = 3 1  ,

So we can plug x = 31 to get three consecutive numbers

Hence three consecutive numbers are 31 , (31 + 1) and (31 +2 )

i.e 31 , 32 and 33 . This is the answer
