Question
If the sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 444, then these multiples are 144, 148, 152.
Answer: Option A
:
A
Let us assume the first multiple of 4 as 4x. Hence,the next two multiples are4x + 4 and 4x + 8
According to the question,
4x+(4x+4)+(4x+8)=444
⇒12x+12=444
⇒4(3x+3)=4(111)
⇒3x+3=111
⇒3x=108
⇒x = 36
⟹4x=4×36=144,
4x+4=144+4=148 and
4x+8=144+8=152
Therefore, the multiples are 144, 148 and152.
