If the product of three consecutive positive integers is 15600 then the sum of the squares of these integers is
A) 1777
B) 1785
C) 1875
D) 1877
Answer
Option (D)
Solution
From CAT 2017 – Quantitative Aptitude – Number Systems, we can see that,
a (a+1) (a+2) = 15600
The consecutive numbers will be 24, 25 and 26
We have to find,
a^2 + (a+1)^2 + (a+2)^2 = (24)^2 + (25)^2 + (26)^2 = 1877
