Correct option is C
Given:
Six consecutive numbers.
Sum of the first three numbers = 27.
Concept Used:
Sum of the first three numbers: x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 3x + 3
Sum of the next three numbers: (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) = 3x + 12
Solution:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 27
3x+3 =27
3x = 24
x = 8
The first six consecutive numbers are 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Sum of the next three numbers (x+3), (x+4), (x+5):
11 + 12 + 13 = 36
Thus, The sum of the next three numbers is 36.
