तीन क्रमागत सम संख्याओं का योग 66 है। सबसे छोटी संख्या क्या है?
Options:
- 20
- 22
- 24
- 26
- 20
- 22
- 24
- 26
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Let numbers be \(x, x+2, x+4\).
\(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66 \implies 3x + 6 = 66 \implies 3x = 60 \implies x = 20\).
माना संख्याएं \(x, x+2, x+4\) हैं।
\(3x + 6 = 66 \implies 3x = 60 \implies x = 20\)।
