Detailed Solution

Concept- In this question, first of all assume three consecutive integers as x, (+ 1)  and (+ 2) . Now, add them and equate to forty five and find the value of x from the equation, and from x, find the 3 consecutive integers.
Value of the first integer = x Let this equation as equation (1)
Value of the second integer = + 1
Let this equation as equation (2)
Value of the third integer = + 2
Let this equation as equation (3)
Given that the sum of three subsequent integers is 45.
So, we get,
(First Integer) + (second Integer) + (Third Integer) = 45 By substituting the value of the first, second and third integers from equation (1) , (2) and (3)
3+ 3 = 45 3= 45 – 3 3= 42 x=423 = 14 So, we get  the first integer = x = 14
Value of the second integer = x + 1 = 15
Value of the third integer = + 2 = 16
Hence, the correct option is 1) 14, 15, 16
