So the numbers are as follows: #color(blue)(11, 12 , 13#

Let the three consecutive numbers be :

#color(blue)((x), (x+1), ( x+2)#

As per the condition given:
#color(blue)((x) + (x+1) + ( x+2)) = 36#

# 3x +3 = 36#

# 3x = 33#

#color(blue)(x=11#
So the numbers are as follows: #color(blue)(11, 12 , 13#
