Solution
The correct option is C 3
Let the three consecutive natural numbers are n, (n + 1) and (n + 2),
Sum of the three consecutive natural numbers = n + (n + 1) + (n + 2)
= 3n + 3 = 3(n + 1).
Hence, the sum of three consecutive natural numbers is a multiple of 3.
Let the three consecutive natural numbers are n, (n + 1) and (n + 2),
