1. If the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 150, then the sum of the two smaller integers is:
- A. 99
- B. 99
- C. 99
- D. 99
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the integers be x, x + 1 and x + 2 respectively.
Then, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 150
or, 3x + 3 = 150
or, 3x = 150 - 3 = 147
or, x = 147/3 = 49
Then, sum of the two smaller integers = x + x + 1 = 49 + 49 + 1 = 99.
