Determine the three lucky numbers

Let the numbers be A, B and C (from smallest to largest).

The third clue implies that:


30 < A < B < C < 60

The first and second imply that they are multiplies of 3 but not multiples of 2 and 9.

Recall that the number are between 30 and 60. So, the numbers are:


Numbers: 33, 39, 51, 57

The fourth clue implies that:


A + B + C = 141

The three numbers (in 33, 39, 51 and 57) when added together that gives 141 are 33, 51 and 57

i.e.


33 + 51 + 57 =141

So, the numbers are: 33, 51 and 57
