Q:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is 72. What is the second largest number ?

A) 27	B) 24
C) 21	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x, 3x + 3 and 3x + 6.
Then,
3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 72
9x = 63
x = 7
Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27.

=> Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24
