Answer:

find 3 consecutive numbers such that twice the first , 3 times the second and 4 times the third together make 191 ?

Let n-1,n and n+1 be three consecutive numbers.

Given

2(n-1)+3n+4(n+1)=191

2n-2+3n+4n+4=191

9n+2=191

9n = 189

n = 21

So, n-1=20 and n+1=22

So the answer is 20,21,22

\pmb { \orange{Given }:} \sf{ Three \: Consecutive \: numbers}


\pmb{\orange{To find}: } \sf{Least \: of \: the \: numbers}


\pmb{\orange{Solution}: }


\sf{Let \: the \: three \: consecutive \: numbers \: be }


\sf\red x, \red {x+1}, \red{x+2}


\sf{Twice \: the \: number = 2\red x}


\sf{3 \: times \: the \: Second \: number = 3(\red{ x+1})}


\sf{4 \: times \: the \: third \: number= 4(\red {x+2})}

according to question


\pmb{2\red x + 3(\red{x+1})+4(\red{x+2})= 191}


\pmb{2\red{x} + 3\red{x}+3+4\red{x}+8= 191}


\pmb{9\red{x}=191-11 = 180}


\pmb{\red{x}=20}


\sf{∴the \: three \: Consecutive \: numbers \: are}


\pmb{\pink{20}, \pink{21}, \pink{22}}
