Best answer 1 votes 1 votes Let the three numbers be (a - 2), a and (a + 2) From the given condition, 3(a - 2) = 2(a + 2) + 2 On solving, we get a = 12 So the 3 numbers are 10, 12 and 14. 14 is the third number. just_bhavana answered Sep 1, 2017 • selected Sep 4, 2017 by Arjun just_bhavana 1.5k points comment Share See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
