1. Three numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3:4. The sum oftheir cubes is 72171. Find the numbers.​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 2x, 3X and 4X

then

(2x) ^3 + (3x) ^3 + (4x) ^3 = 72171

8x^3 + 27x^3 + 64x^3 = 72171

take x^3 common

then

x^3(8 + 27 + 64) = 72171

x^3(99) = 72171

x^3 = 72171/99

x^3 = 729

x = ³√729

x = 9

Numbers are

2x = 2 * 9 = 18

3x = 3 * 9 = 27

4x = 4 * 9 = 36

Hope it will be HELPFUL
