What is the Smallest and Biggest Integers?
The sum of three consecutive integers is 1350, The sum of the smallest and the biggest integers is:
- 900
- 950
- 975
- 1000
Answer: (a) 900
Explanation:-
Let be the three conjunctive numbers = X, X + 1, X +2
According to the question, X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1350
3X + 3 = 1350
3X = 1350 – 3 = 1347
X = 1347/3 = 449
thus, the smallest number is 449 and the biggest number is 449 + 2 = 451
The sum of the smallest and biggest numbers = 449 +451 = 900
Hence, the sum of the smallest number and biggest number = 900
