Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 11

Solution : Given that the product of three consecutive numbers is 210.
Let the three consecutive numbers as $(n-1)$, $n$, and $(n+1)$.
According to the question,
$n(n+1)(n-1) = 210$
$⇒n^3-n-210=0$
$⇒(n-6)(n^2+6n+35)=0$
$n = 6$ and $n otin \mathrm{R}$
Therefore, the three consecutive numbers are 5, 6, and 7.
$ herefore$ The sum of the smaller number = 5 + 6 = 11
Hence, the correct answer is 11.
