the three consecutive integers be x,y and z. given: xyz=210. the unit place ends with 0. so it must be a multiple of 5,10,... if it is a multiple of 10 means it must lead to a large number because 10*9*8=720 or 10*11*12=1320. so it must be a multiple of 5. so now 5*6*7=210 or 5*4*3=60. according to the given question 5,6,7 only satisfies. so the numbers must be 5,6 and 7. the sum of smallest integers is 5+6=11. answer is 11.
Product is 210... so one of the integers must be 5 or 10. They are 5 6 7 or 3 4 5 or 10 9 8 or 10 11 12
Possible ans is 5 6 7 bcoz no other option gives the product which is mentioned
in the data. Sum of two smaller integers is 5+6=11. so ans is 11
If the product of the 3 consecutive integers is 210, then the sum of the two smaller integers?
