Six consecutive whole numbers are given. The sum of the first three numbers is 27. What is the sum of the last three numbers?

A 36
B 33
C 32
D 30

Correct Answer: 36

Let the numbers be x,x + 1,x + 2, x + 3,x + 4,x + 5 So now ATQ, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 27 So that's equal to 3x + 3 = 27 which is equal to x + 1 = 9. So x = 8 Now the sum of other three numbers = x + 3 + x + 4 + x + 5 = 3x + 12 = 3*8 + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36 Hence Answer is 36
