Let x be an odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you add 2 with it, you will get the next odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, x + 2 is the next odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Further if you add 2, you will get the next odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, x + 2 + 2 = x + 4 is the next odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, x, x + 2 and x + 4 are three consecutive odd integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is given that the sum of these three numbers is 201.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 20.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or, 3x + 6 = 201\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or, 3x = 195\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or, x = 195/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or, x = 65\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, x + 2 = 67, x + 4 = 69.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, 65, 67 and 69 are the required numbers. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
