The sum of the squares of 3 natural numbers is 261, and they are in the proportion 2 : 3 : 4. The difference between greatest number and smallest number is:1. 62. 93. 54. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 6

Calculation:

Let the numbers be 2y, 3y and 4y respectively.

⇒ (2y)2 + (3y)2 + (4y)2 = 261

⇒ 29y2 = 261

⇒ y2 = 9

⇒ y = 3

Greatest number = 4y = 12

Smallest number = 2y = 6

∴  The difference between greatest number and smallest number is 6.
