    Let the three odd consecutive natural numbers be P, P + 2 and P + 4.
    ∴  According to the given question
    P + P + 2 + P + 4 = 87

    Correct Option: D

    Let us assume the 3 odd consecutive natural numbers be P, P + 2 and P + 4.
    ∴  According to the given question
    P + P + 2 + P + 4 = 87
    ⇒   3P + 6 = 87
    ⇒   3P = 81
    ⇒ ∴   P = 27
    ∴  Smallest number = 27


  1. There is a number consisting of two digits, the digit in the unit's place is twice that in the tens’ place and if 2 be subtracted from the sum of the digits, the difference is equal to 1/6 of the number. The number is

    Ten’s digit of original number = P
    ∴  Unit’s digit = 2P
    According to given question;
    ∴  Number = 10P + 2P = 12P
    According to the question,

    3P – 2 =
    1
    × 12P
    6

    ⇒  3P – 2 = 2P
    ⇒  3P – 2P = 2
    ⇒  P = 2
    ∴  Number = 12P = 12 × 2 = 2 = 24

    Correct Option: C

    Ten’s digit of original number = P
    ∴  Unit’s digit = 2P
    According to given question;
    ∴  Number = 10P + 2P = 12P
    According to the question,

    3P – 2 =
    1
    × 12P
    6

    ⇒  3P – 2 = 2P
    ⇒  3P – 2P = 2
    ⇒  P = 2
    ∴  Number = 12P = 12 × 2 = 2 = 24

    As we know that
    71 = 7;
    72 = 49;
    73 = 343;
    74 = 2401 ;
    75 = 16807
    i.e. The unit’s digit repeats itself after power 4.
    Remainder after we divide 245 by 4 = 1

    Correct Option: D

    As we know that
    71 = 7;
    72 = 49;
    73 = 343;
    74 = 2401 ;
    75 = 16807
    i.e. The unit’s digit repeats itself after power 4.
    Remainder after we divide 245 by 4 = 1
    ∴ Unit’s digit in the product of (4387)245 × (621)72 = Unit’s digit of (4387)245 × Unit digit of (621)72
    (621)72 = Unit’s digit of (7)245 × Unit digit of (1)72
    (621)72 = Unit’s digit of (7)1 × Unit digit of (1)72
    ∴ Unit’s digit in the product of (4387)245 × (621)72 = 7 × 1 = 7
