According to the question, here we got to know that John scored 72 points in the first test

In the second he scored higher than the 1st test

In the third he scored 1 mark more than the second test

His average in the three tests was 83

So,

Let's the marks scored in the 2nd test be x

Hence, in the third test he got x + 1

Average is 83

$\frak{Average = \frac{{1}^{st} \: test + {2}^{nd} \: test + {3}^{rd} \: test }{3} } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{83 = \frac{72 + x + x + 1}{3}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{83 = \frac{73 + 2x}{3}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 = 73 + 2x } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 - 73 = 2x} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 = 73 + 2x } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{x = \frac{176}{2} } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 = 73 + 2x } \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 - 73 = 2x} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \frak{249 = 73 + 2x } \\ \\ \star \qquad \boxed{ \green{\frak{x = 88}}} \\ \\ \sf{ \underline{{2}^{nd} \: test }} : \\ \\ \boxed{ \red{88}} \\ \\ \sf{ \underline{{3}^{rd} \: test }} : \\ \\ \rightarrow x + 1 \\ \\ \rightarrow 88 + 1 \\ \\ \boxed{ \red{ 89 }}$
