Multiple UITableview in Single Viewcontroller

Question

I have a viewcontroller in that i want to show 3 tableviews(because the content and the table properties are different). How do i add these delegat

You always get a reference and can always check for which tableView delegate or dataSource method is called.

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    if (tableView == self.tableView1)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    if (tableView == self.tableView2)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    if (tableView == self.tableView3)
    {
        return 1;
    }
}

You don't gain anything by using same identifier for all tables. Use something like:

-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
{    
    if (tableView == self.tableView1)
    {
        static NSString *CellIdentifier1 = @"cellForTable1";

        UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier1];

        if (!cell)
        {
            cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier1];
        }

        cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"table1: %d.%d", indexPath.section, indexPath.row];

        return cell;
    }

    if (tableView == self.tableView2)
    {
        static NSString *CellIdentifier2 = @"cellForTable2";

        UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier2];

        if (!cell)
        {
            cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier2];
        }

        cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"table2: %d.%d", indexPath.section, indexPath.row];

        return cell;
    }

   if (tableView == self.tableView1)
    {
        static NSString *CellIdentifier3 = @"cellForTable3";

        UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier3];

        if (!cell)
        {
            cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier3];
        }

        cell.textLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"table3: %d.%d", indexPath.section, indexPath.row];

        return cell;
    }   
}
