The sum of the squares of three consecutive odd numbers is 2531.Find the
numbers. Choose the correct choice from the following options:  A) 27,28 and 31  B) 25,29 and 31  C) 27,29 and 32  D) 26,33 and 31  E) 27,29 and 31
Let the numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4.   Then, X2 + (x + 2)2 + (x + 4)2 = 2531 =&gt; 3x2 + 12x - 2511 = 0   =&gt; X2 + 4x - 837 = 0	=&gt; (x - 27) (x + 31) = 0	=&gt;	x = 27.   Hence, the required numbers are 27, 29 and 31.   Answer is 27,29 and 31.
