Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 30 Given: Sum of three numbers = 98 Ratio of first and second number = 2 ∶ 3 Ratio of second and third number = 5 ∶ 8 Calculation: Let the first number be 2x and second number be 3x As, the ratio of second and third number = 5 ∶ 8 3x ∶ Third number = 5 ∶ 8 ⇒ Third number = 24x/5 Sum of all numbers = 98 ⇒ 2x + 3x + 24x/5 = 98 ⇒ 49x/5 = 98 ⇒ x = 10 Second number = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30 ∴ Second number is 30 |
